The project utilizes an open source Atmel AVR microcontroller while incorporating a state of the art USB programmer. The firmware of the USB programmer can work for almost any AVR microcontroller on ...

The project illustrates the use of AVR ISP to develop software in an AVR Studio 4 environment to directly program chips. There are some sites that are populated with simplified version of AVR ISP ...

Here’s a new option for building your own AVR programmer. It’s called the MkII Slim and the diminutive size makes it live up to its name. The design is rather spartan, using just three chips; a ...

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 ...

[blueHash] uses this cheap development board as an AVR programmer. What’s interesting to us is that it solves the chicken-or-egg problem that is usually encountered when bootstrapping a programmer. We ...

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 ...

Atmel has introduced two new 8-bit AVR microcontrollers for controlling sensor and sensorless brushless DC (BLDC) motors in automotive applications. Michel Passemard, automotive tactical marketing ...

Atmel Corporation has announced that its AVR XMEGA and AVR32 product families have been selected by Ibiquity Digital for use in the company’s HD Radio reference design platforms. Both the AVR XMEGA ...
