This comprehensive setup eliminates the need for multiple programming tools and reduces the clutter of wires typically associated with microcontroller programming.

But everyone needs to get there somehow. This tutorial series aims to make you comfortable programming the Atmel AVR line of microcontrollers.

Just note that a microcontroller programmer helps you to transfer code files from your computer to the microcontroller. Literally, microcontroller (to be programmed) is placed in the program adaptor, ...

A far more useful case is to provide a power supply for the microcontroller programmer, which has no wall wart. Today’s microcontrollers consume less current than their predecessors, so you can easily ...

JavaScript developers can now write IoT software on a large range of devices, including low-specs micro-controllers with as little as 32KB of memory. As the TC53 committee and companies like ...

This is a deep talk for sure, but if you’re ever in the throes of building a microcontroller programmer or debugger, it provides a much-appreciated roadmap to doing so.

First we’ll start by programming a microcontroller to grab data from your sensors. In this case, we used a BX24 microcontroller from BasicX. You may choose to use an Atmel or PIC microcontroller ...
