A simple AVR microcontroller based circuit that can detect when you touch a metal probe connected to one of the mcu inputs. A simple AVR microcontroller based circuit that can detect when you touch a ...

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 ...

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 ...

[Clifford Wolf] wrote in to let us know about a project he recently completed called EmbedVM. It’s a virtual machine for AVR microcontrollers. The package has a relatively small overhead, taking up ...

Microchip has released the MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) version 5.05, which beta supports the majority of AVR microcontrollers (MCUs). This release will allow designers who ...

Many companies have switched to the open source Eclipse platform instead of pushing their own proprietary IDE. Atmel decided to take a different approach for its 8- and 32-bit AVR microcontrollers. It ...

Microchip Technology, a provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, has further expanded its AVR microcontroller (MCU) portfolio by adding three new devices to the ...

Microchip announced a family of 8bit AVR microcontrollers (AVR-DD) this week with a variable voltage IO interface that I had entirely missed when it first appeared in the earlier ‘DB’ family. This ...

Alf-Egil Bogen, co-inventor of the AVR microcontroller, has joined Energy Micro as chief marketing officer. Bogen has been in the microcontroller industry for over 20 years and most recently served as ...
