In the last installment of our tutorial series we built a simple circuit on a breadboard and programmed an ATmega168 to make it run. That proves that you know how to follow directions, but the eureka ...

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 ...

Not just for nerds, anyone with an interest in electronics, computers, or engineering can build a circuit to blink an LED or read a temperature sensor. The NerdKit will walk you through building the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
