Microcontrollers

Thonny is a Python IDE meant for learning programming. Thonny comes with Python 3.7 built in, so just one simple installer is needed and you're ready to learn programming. The initial user interface is stripped of all features that may distract beginners.

This is where I’ll be uploading builds of AVR-GCC for Windows 32 and 64 bit, which will also include Binutils, AVR-LibC, AVRDUDE, Make and GDB. I’ll be trying to keep the builds up to date with the latest tool releases when I can. The binaries are built from source on a Debian 10 virtual machine with MinGW (GCC 9.1.0 and older were built on an Arch Linux VM), apart from AVRDUDE where the pre-built binaries are obtained from the official download area. Both 32 bit and 64 bit Windows binaries are provided. There’s probably no benefit from using the 64 bit stuff, but all the cool kids are doing it so why not. A bash script for building AVR-GCC, AVR-Binutils, AVR-LibC and AVR-GDB from source is also provided below, making it super easy to build these tools for yourself.

Select the AVR device type you want to configure. When changing this setting, default fuse settings will automatically be applied. Presets (hexadecimal representation of the fuse settings) can be reviewed and even be set in the last form at the bottom of this page.

Real Pic Simulator is a professional pic simulator for Microchip(tm) pic microcontrollers. The simulation process is done in real time with user interaction through different visual components. The main goal of this project is SPEED and we can proudly say that this is the fastest pic simulator on the market.
