This repository contains educational low-level assembly projects for Atmel (AVR) microcontrollers, such as the ATmega2560 (Arduino Mega). The goal is to demonstrate how microcontrollers work at the ...

The alphanumeric display is a character-based LCD that can display up to 16 characters per row and 2 rows (for example 16x2). The display can operate in two modes 8-bit mode (all 8 data pins used) ...

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 ...

Until recently, a very common problem faced by electronic circuit designers was the difference in supply voltage standards between microcontrollers (e.g. 3.3 V) and peripheral ICs (e.g. 5 V). In order ...

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 ...

Atmel® Corporation a leader in microcontroller and touch solutions, announced the release of 13 new devices in 3 different product series in its 32-bit AVR® UC3 product portfolio. The award-winning ...

Many companies have switched to the open source Eclipse platform instead of pushing their own proprietary IDE. Atmel decided to take a different approach for its 8- and 32-bit AVR microcontrollers. It ...

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 ...

[Q] wrote in to let us know about the AVR-Guide he’s been working on. It looks like he’s finished posting about 80% of the content he planned for in his initial draft outline. We read through several ...
