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 ...

When it comes to AVR microcontrollers the most common programming option is In-System Programming (ISP). ISP interface is easy to use but in some scenarios it is totally unusable. The most common ...

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 ...

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 ...

You can create a release to package software, along with release notes and links to binary files, for other people to use. Learn more about releases in our docs.

The project illustrates how a microcontroller can generate sound as it plays audio bit stream generated from MIDI files which must be converted with special Perl program. The project illustrates how a ...

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 ...
