We love looking at hardcore electronics projects with a beefy microcontroller and hundreds, if not thousands, of lines of code at its center. But everyone needs to get there somehow. This tutorial ...

The advent of the Arduino brought the world of microcontrollers to hobbyists, students, and artist the world over. Right now we’re in the midst of a new expansion in hobbyist electronics with the ...

The AVR 8-bit microcontroller's modified Harvard architecture was introduced in 1997. These Atmel microcontrollers are popular among a reasonably large number of developers because they provide decent ...

Most of the AVR ATtiny microcontrollers can be programmed with this small board which can also be used in a standalone application which building a project. Most of the AVR ATtiny microcontrollers can ...

The project was based on ATmega8 microcontroller and is designed to convert NES/SNES controllers to USB. The device has been designed to be as small as possible since there is no space inside a SNES ...

Mouser Electronics, Inc. is now stocking the ATtiny104 Xplained Nano from Atmel. Designed as an evaluation kit for Atmel’s recently launched ATtiny102 and ATtiny104 8-bit AVR microcontrollers, the ...

Until recently, a very common problem faced by electronic circuit designers was the difference in supply voltage standards between microcontrollers (e.g. 3.3 V) and peripheral ICs (e.g. 5 V). In order ...

Microchip has created an AVR microcontroller series with 12Mbit/s USB 2.0 and code protection. “As the next generation of Microchip 8-bit MCUs to integrate USB connectivity, the AVR DU family is ...

Atmel Corporation (www.atmel.com) has introduced four AEC Q100-qualified AVR flash microcontrollers for automotive power train, body, chassis, safety and security applications involving sensor and/or ...
