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 … ...

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 ...

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was an AVR microcontroller with USB device support built in so you would not need a separate programmer or serial link? Well in fact there are quite a few of them… ...

So just consider this as a foundation (will treat this in near-future), and allow me to shift to next phase of this tutorial. Fuse Bits – Short Reference Four bits controlling Atmega8 clock sources: ...

The AVR Libc documentation is a good place to start for information on programming AVRs in Assembly, C and C++. The Hello World program of the microcontroller universe is the classic flashing LEDs.

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 ...
