I make a lot of breakout boards that I usually use in my hobby projects. Most are input/output devices but some are microcontroller breakout boards.
Let me share them with you.
AVR Tutorial 2: AVR Studio Quick Start Guide
September 18, 2010 By Leave a Comment
In this tutorial, I am going to show how to use AVR Studio IDE and WinAVR in developing software for AVR microcontrollers. In this tutorial, my target AVR microcontroller is ATmega8 and I will be using AVR Studio version 4.18.700. I am assuming that you have downloaded and installed WinAVR and AVR Studio. If you have not installed both, please do so. Installation must be straight forward and please use the default installation directories to avoid confusions.
If you have already installed AVR Studio and WinAVR, then you are ready to get started with the software development.
1. Run AVR Studio by double-clicking the AVR Studio icon on your desktop or by going to Start->Programs->Atmel AVR Tools->AVR Studio 4.
AVR Tutorial 1: Introduction
September 11, 2010 By 1 Comment
Good day! Today, I am starting a new series of microcontroller programming tutorials. This series of tutorials is about AVR microcontroller programming using C language.
Before we get started, let me express my assumptions while writing this series of tutorials. In this series of tutorials, I am assuming that the reader is already familiar with C programming language. I am assuming that the reader knows how to read a schematic diagram, construct a circuit based from a given schematic diagram, and analyze electronic circuits. I am also assuming that the reader is able to use Windows applications. [Read more...]
28-pin AVR Breakout Board

This is another AVR breakout/header board that is surely one of the many breakout/header boards you see in the Internet.
Why did I make my own? I’ll use it in my incoming tutorials about programming an AVR microcontroller. [Read more...]
DIY Digital Thermometer 2
August 31, 2010 By 9 Comments
Few months ago, I published my first DIY digital thermometer. However, like any simple projects/prototypes, that project needs some improvements. Previously, I used a voltage regulator that has a 100mA rating. Though it was able to source current to the whole circuit, it gets too hot easily. Another problem with that was that the voltage regulator was very close to the sensor. Since the voltage regulator heated up easily, it always affected the temperature reading of the digital thermometer.
To solve those problems, I came up with a second version of digital thermometer. [Read more...]
