RPM Systems Corporation (Redmond, Washington U.S.A.) today announces programming support for Atmel’s AVR AT Xmega family of microcontrollers. Available immediately, the MPQ-AVR programmer provides ...

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 project illustrates the use of AVR ISP to develop software in an AVR Studio 4 environment to directly program chips. There are some sites that are populated with simplified version of AVR ISP ...

This guide will take you through the generic setup of the AVR C-compiler for a Mac Silicon (or Intel) computer for developing with the ATmega4808 microcontroller. Development is done in SHELL, Visual ...

The highly popular ATtiny and ATmega microcontrollers (formerly from Atmel, now from Microchip) are based on the 8-bit AVR microcontroller architecture. Let's consider some of the reasons to learn and ...

A Direct AVR Parallel Access, or DAPA cable, is an incredibly simple and cheap programming method. You can build one very quickly for a few bucks worth of parts, but the convenience comes with a few ...

I've been interested in getting into microcontroller programming lately, and I've been looking at Microchips PIC16F and PIC18F series (especially the PIC16F), and also Atmel's ATtiny and ATmega series ...

Sensor Networks (WSN) are mainly composed of intelligent interconnected devices (things) that require remote ubiquitous over-the-air re-programming. Conse- quently, existing functionalities are ...
