Sino: bit – Changing Programming for Kids All Over the World
https://www.electronics-lab.com/sino-bit-changing-programming-kids-world/
Creating projects with Arduino can be challenging for kids, this may cause children to lose interest in electronics and DIY projects. The most complicated part is usually the connections required to use a sensor, led matrix or other devices that can be connected to the Arduino (or other microcontrollers). Since all these devices are different […]
Attiny Programmer (using Arduino UNO)
https://www.electronics-lab.com/attiny-programmer-using-arduino-uno/
by CrtSuznik @ instructables.com: The Arduino UNO is small, but if you require your project to be in a small enclosure, the UNO might be way too big. You could try using a NANO or MINI, but if you really want to go small, you go tiny, Attiny to be precise. They are quite small, […]
A simple and reliable programming & test jig
https://www.electronics-lab.com/simple-reliable-programming-test-jig/
Pieter @ piconomix.com tipped us with his latest build. Check it out on the link below. I recently had to create a programming jig for an ATmega328PB based board. 1mm diameter test pads were placed on the bottom of the PCB to give access to the ISP pins. Normally one would add two 3mm diameter […]

https://www.electronics-lab.com/write-run-c-program-raspberry-pi/
In this tutorial, circuitbasics.com discuss what a C program is, what C programming is used for, and finally, how to write and run a C program on the Raspberry Pi. The C programming language is one of the most widely used programming languages of all time. It is computationally faster and more powerful than Python. C […]
A Mass Programming Bench for ATMega32u4 MCUs
https://www.electronics-lab.com/mass-programming-bench-atmega32u4-mcus/
“limpkin” @ limpkin.fr wanted to program some thousand of MCUs so he decided to build his own programming bench. He writes: As you may know I started the Mooltipass offline password keeper project more than 2 years ago. Together with a team of volunteers from all over the globe I created two Mooltipass devices which were […]
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 […]
It’s the end of C as we know it!
https://www.electronics-lab.com/end-c-know/
beningo.com discuss about the future of C language and it’s use in embedded systems. The C programming language has been with embedded software developers since its creation in 1972. Ever since then C has been a blazing constant, surviving even the big push in the late 90’s and early 21st century to move to C++ […]
IEEE Ranking for Programming Languages – 2016
https://www.electronics-lab.com/ieee-ranking-programming-languages-2016/
Are you an embedded system programmer? Checkout the rank of your favorite programming language according to IEEE Spectrum ranking. C language is in the first place for programming devices controllers, followed by C++, Arduino, then Assembly. IEEE Spectrum has special methods to figure these ranks, for example they “measure the number of hits for each […]
Arduino Inline Assembly Tutorial
https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-inline-assembly-tutorial/
ucexperiment.wordpress.com has published a series of tutorials on how to use assembly language on Arduino. This can be pretty helpful if you want to do some advantaged coding on Arduino. An inline assembly statement is a string which specifies assembler code. The string can contain any instructions recognized by the assembler, including directives (we will […]
Getting Started With the ATMega328P
https://www.electronics-lab.com/getting-started-with-the-atmega328p/
Here is a detailed guide on how to get started with ATMega328P microcontroller. The guide goes in details on how to setup it on a breadboard and how to upload your first code on it. and blink a led. The real benefit of using this microcontroller is that it’s only $4 US, whereas many other […]
