Getting Started with a PIC16, Specifically, a PIC16f18326, by Mattia Maldini @ medium.com: Today I’m going to make a quick tutorial on how to program a bare PIC16, specifically the PIC16f18326. No demo boards and no USB cable, just the MCU, a breadboard and a dedicated...

Renesas Synergy™ TB-S5D3 Target Board Kit helps designers evaluate the operation and performance of the S5D3 Microcontrollers. The S5D3 Target Board Kit offers initial firmware development and evaluation of the Synergy Software Package (SSP) on the Synergy™ S5D3...

Ever since the first microcontroller was released in 1980 by Intel - the Harvard Architecture 8051 mcu - microcontrollers have revolutionized the electronics industry and has spurred an array of low-cost microcontrollers like PIC, AVR, ARM, and others. The AVR has been the one that...

This project describes how to get 12 analogue PWM outputs from an ATtiny85, so you can drive 12 LEDs with individual control over each LED's brightness. David Johnson-Davies writes: Each LED can be set to a brightness between 0 (off) and 63 (fully on). The demonstration program shows a...

The STM32G0 is ST's newest series of mainstream microcontrollers (MCU) for cost-oriented consumer and industrial applications. [via] This new generation offers an Arm® Cortex®-M0+ core at 64 MHz as well as a Securable Memory Area, more RAM and Flash, numerous I/Os, and more...

This is a small battery-powered thermometer that displays the temperature as a series of red and green flashes on an LED. by David Johnson-Davies: The thermometer consists of an ATtiny10, a DS18B20 1-wire temperature sensor, and a bi-colour LED. To avoid the need for a digital display,...

Here is a nice video from Ben Heck describing how to program and use the smallest AVR microcontroller, the ATTINY10. He covers, how to wire a small converter and an AVR High Voltage Programmer, how to get started with Atmel Studio 7 and basic I/O, how to blink a LED and view the signal...

David Johnson-Davies published another tiny project. This is an ATtiny85-based digital music box that will play a tune stored in memory in MIDI format: The notes sound like a music box or harpsichord, with a decaying envelope, and there are four channels, so up to four notes can play...
