A simple AVR microcontroller based circuit that can detect when you touch a metal probe connected to one of the mcu inputs. A simple AVR microcontroller based circuit that can detect when you touch a ...

[Clifford Wolf] wrote in to let us know about a project he recently completed called EmbedVM. It’s a virtual machine for AVR microcontrollers. The package has a relatively small overhead, taking up ...

The project pertains to an LC meter based on the AVR microcontroller which calculates and displays L and C from oscillation frequency using reference components. The design of the circuit includes no ...

Whether you are creating a small Internet appliance, some hardware instrumentation, data loggers or an army of autonomous robots to do your bidding, in numerous situations you need the flexibility of ...

[Mark] had seen a few examples of algorithmic music generation that takes some simple code and produces complex-sounding results. Apparently it’s possible to pipe the output of code like this directly ...

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 ...

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 ...

Designed for work in circuits with varied voltage levels. Until recently, a very common problem faced by electronic circuit designers was the difference in supply voltage standards between ...

Atmel has introduced a 6-pin microcontroller. The 8bit AVR ATtiny10 has 1kbyte of flash and 32byte of SRAM in a 2x3mm SOT-23 package. Performance is claimed to be up to 12MIPS, and peripherals include ...

A few years ago, the default answer to almost any “tiny computer” project was a full single-board computer running Linux. That made sense, because you got drivers, packages, a real filesystem, and ...
