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 program requires the correct hardware device, as well as some software in order to program the hardware. If the hardware is accessible, the program can be written to the device using Microchip ...

For this project I use Atmega328P which is an old but lovely microcontroller used in Arduino Uno. Keep in mind that Atmega328P is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS and we are going to use it only to ...

Here you can learn many more interesting and useful about USB bootloaders for AVR microcontrollers. In practice, one of the most proper microcontroller programming method is using a bootloader program ...

Since you lacked the USB interface in your own Arduino board, it becomes necessary to use a homemade/ready-made USB to Serial Converter Module as an efficient and economical solution. Inexpensive and ...

The highly popular ATtiny and ATmega microcontrollers (formerly from Atmel, now from Microchip) are based on the 8-bit AVR microcontroller architecture. Let's consider some of the reasons to learn and ...

Sure, Project Natal is the hotness and a little bird tells us PlayStation Move is pretty bodacious, but you don't have to buy a fancy game console to sooth your motion-tracking blues. When students at ...
