So, you designed a board that incorporates a SMD AVR and forgot to break out ISP pins. How you gonna upload your code/(if you have serial pins available)bootloader on your microcontroller? This was my ...

Welcome back to this fourth and final installment of the series. The first three parts should have been enough to get you off the ground, but a few more learning examples wouldn’t hurt. It’s also a ...

debugWIRE is an undocumented protocol used on AVR microcontrollers, mostly supported by proprietary Atmel tools only. It can be used to debug and program AVR devices over just the debug pin. This ...

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 ...

There are several ways to program AVR microcontrollers. You can program Atmega16 using ISP programer. The software is written in C language and compiled using Keil software. You can use any suitable ...

If you have always wanted to learn C programming for a microcontroller but have struggled with books and manuals on the subject, then this kit could be what you have been waiting for. The kit is based ...

This circuit is intended to program AVR controllers such as the AT90S1200 via the parallel port. The circuit is extremely simple. IC1 provides buffering for the signals that travel from the parallel ...

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 ...
