ATtiny1607 – A TinyAVR MCU Family For Real-Time Control Systems
https://www.electronics-lab.com/attiny1607-a-tinyavr-mcu-family-for-real-time-control-systems/
In continuation of the development of microcontrollers for a real-time control system, Microchip unveils a new set of microcontroller family based around the known Atmel ATtiny family called the ATtiny1607 family. Microchip is hoping to continue support for the Atmel’s famous AVR set of microcontrollers. Microchip recently launched the PIC18 Q10 family of MCUs earlier […]
Program-O-Tron – SD Card Based Standalone AVR Programmer
https://www.electronics-lab.com/program-o-tron-sd-card-based-standalone-avr-programmer/
An SD card based standalone AVR Programmer is live on kickstarter and has 24 days to go. Here at proto-pic HQ we make kits, lots of kits, and that means lots of AVR programming. We found this a tedious task and wanted a solution to make the whole thing quick and easy. No more did […]
Infrared repeater using AVR mcu
https://www.electronics-lab.com/infrared-repeater-using-avr-mcu/
Madis Kaal @ nomad.ee designed a infrared repeater based on ATMEL AVR + TSOP1738 infrared receiver. He writes: I built this MCU based infrared repeater to allow me to control my A/V equipment that is behind a wall. The system is very simple. Power is supplied to CON1 from a cheap Alcatel phone charger that […]
Programming the ATtiny10 using Arduino IDE
https://www.electronics-lab.com/programming-attiny10-using-arduino-ide/
David Johnson-Davies @ technoblogy.com has a nice guide on how to program ATtiny10 6-pin mcu using the arduino IDE. Programming is done using the widely available USBasp programmer from Thomas Fischl. Examples are also included on the guide. Unlike the SPI protocol used to program the larger AVR chips, such as the ATmega328 in the […]
Atmel ATmega8 – A World-Famous Microcontroller Created By Two Annoyed Students
https://www.electronics-lab.com/atmel-atmega8-world-famous-microcontroller-created-two-annoyed-students/
AVR is a family of microcontrollers developed by Atmel beginning in 1996. These are modified Harvard architecture 8-bit RISC single-chip microcontrollers. The Atmel AVR core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers. Atmel’s ATmega8 comes from the AVR line of microcontroller and it is a gem of the modern maker movement. It is used as […]
AT88CK490, A New Atmel CryptoAuthentication USB Dongle Evaluation Kit
https://www.electronics-lab.com/at88ck490-new-atmel-cryptoauthentication-usb-dongle-evaluation-kit/
Atmel had produced a new USB evaluation kit “AT88CK490” to evaluate the performance and applicability of the Atmel Family of CryptoAuthentication devices. The kit contains three devices; ATSHA204, ATAES132, and ATECC108. AT88CK490 Kit devices are based on Atmel AT90USB1287 microcontroller which provides a convenient USB 2.0 interface allowing users to understand and experiment with the […]
Turn Arduino into an AVR TPI Programmer
https://www.electronics-lab.com/turn-arduino-avr-tpi-programmer/
Elliot Williams @ hackaday.com show us how to use your Arduino to program AVR TPI enabled microcontrollers. Turning an Arduino of virtually any sort into a simple AVR 6-pin ISP programmer is old hat. But when Atmel came out with a series of really tiny AVR chips, the ATtiny10 and friends with only six pins […]
Emulate an Apple ][ on an AVR Microcontroller
https://www.electronics-lab.com/emulate-apple-avr-microcontroller/
The Apple II personal computer, which stylized as Apple ][, is an 8-bit home computer and one of the first highly successful mass-produced microcomputer products. It was designed primarily by Steve Wozniak and developed with Steve Jobs. Apple ][ was introduced in 1977 at the West Coast Computer Faire by Jobs and was sold several […]
Atmel ATtiny417/814/816/817 Include Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs)
https://www.electronics-lab.com/atmel-attiny-include-cips/
Atmel tinyAVR microcontrollers are optimized for applications that require performance, power efficiency and ease of use in a small package. All tinyAVR devices are based on the same architecture with other AVR devices. The integrated ADC, DAC, EEPROM memory and brown-out detector let you build applications without adding external components. The tinyAVR also offers Flash Memory for […]
Program AVR Using Arduino the easy way
https://www.electronics-lab.com/program-avr-using-arduino-easy-way/
rik @ riktronics.wordpress.com show us how to program AVR microcontrollers using an Arduino board. Advanced hobbyists like me (and you, of course 😉) love to play with microcontroller. And the most famous microcontrollers for beginners are AVR series from Atmel™. Almost all beginners in microcontroller-world have their Arduino boards lying on work table. Because it is […]
