The most common way of programming AVR microcontrollers is the In System Programming port. That little six-pin header with MOSIs and MISOs coming out of it will program every AVR you’ll ever come ...

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 ...

The project demonstrates the programming of AVR microcontrollers on other boards with only the use of a USB cable and 6-pin IDC to 6-pin IDC cable since it is designed for production within a FabLab.

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 ...

Developers, programmers and hobbyists searching for a standalone AVR Programmer may be interested in a new piece of hardware called the Program-O-Tron created by Ewan Fisher base in the United Kingdom ...

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 ...

The AVR 8-bit microcontroller's modified Harvard architecture was introduced in 1997. These Atmel microcontrollers are popular among a reasonably large number of developers because they provide decent ...

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 ...

Microchip announces the release of MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment version 5.05 which beta supports the majority of AVR microcontrollers. This release will allow designers who traditionally ...
