There are several ways to program AVR microcontrollers. We are programming it with USBASP v2.0 serial programmer. For demonstration we will use ATmega16 Microcontroller and Atmel Studio. We will test ...

We all know that, Atmega328 IC is used in Arduino UNO board. This IC is the brain of the Arduino board. Actually, Arduino designers wanted to make a handy prototyping board for the beginners so they ...

One of my favourite things to do on a cold winter night is to heat up my soldering iron and sit down at my workbench for an hour of circuit board building. Unfortunately, many of the development ...

The Intel MCS-51 (commonly termed 8051) is a single chip microcontroller (MCU) series developed by Intel in 1980 for use in embedded systems. 8051 are first-generation microcontrollers that sparked ...

Atmel’s XMEGA series of microcontrollers are neat little pieces of hardware; with a very fast clock, a ton of IO, USB, and up to 8 UART ports, these neat little chips serve as a nice bridge between ...

This is a very cheap programmer for AVR-based microcontrollers available from many Chinese suppliers. Hardware-wise it appears to be very similar to USBasp, but out of the box it works only with a ...
