Projects, tutorials, and articles about microcontrollers (AVR, PIC, 8051, MSP430, and STM32 or other ARM architectures), FPGA, analog electronics, and digital electronics
This microcontroller project is another version of a persistence of vision or POV toy. It has 8 LEDs and it is powered by ATtiny2313 (AVR microcontroller by Atmel) operating at 2 x AA batteries. This is a tiny toy and it can be carried easily inside your pockets.
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.
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.
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...]
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.
