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 ...

A Direct AVR Parallel Access, or DAPA cable, is an incredibly simple and cheap programming method. You can build one very quickly for a few bucks worth of parts, but the convenience comes with a few ...

The project illustrates how a microcontroller can generate sound as it plays audio bit stream generated from MIDI files which must be converted with special Perl program. The project illustrates how a ...

Unfortunately, the AVR Studio doesn't include a C compiler, so I was stuck programming in assembly language. The data sheet for the AT90S8515 chip includes assembly-language codes (also called op ...

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 ...
