Ghetto Development Environment

A while back, I posted up a quick and dirty “el cheapo” method of getting started programming the Atmel AVR series chips: Ghetto Programmer (version 1.0) Since then, I’ve vamped, re-vamped, and otherwise improved my setup. Thought it’d be nice to document it. The goal was to get a flexible, compact, portable, use-anywhere, AVR-based microcontroller prototyping […]

TINYHVSP – HIGH VOLTAGE SERIAL PROGRAMMER BASED ON ATTINY84

TINYHVSP – HIGH VOLTAGE SERIAL PROGRAMMER BASED ON ATTINY84

Stefan Wagner’s EasyEDA profile is definitely the go-to source for all things ATtiny. He’s built 10s of projects, some of which we have covered here, that are based on the tiny microcontrollers, and it only makes sense that one of his latest projects, called the TinyHVSP, is a tool to help with development using the Attiny

ATtiny Programmer Using Arduino ISP

ATtiny Programmer Using Arduino ISP

For relatively small (less number of pins than ATmega328) projects, ATtiny series, ATtiny45 or Attiny85 are good choice in terms of its physical size (8-DIP or 8-SOIC)  and low power consumption. There are many ways to program it. One of the popular device is USBtinyISP and DASA. Both of them work very well with WinAVR (AVRdude). I’d like to share

How to Program AVR Microcontroller Atmega16 Using USBASP programmer and Atmel Studio 7.0 1

How to Program AVR Microcontroller Atmega16 Using USBASP programmer and Atmel Studio 7.0

There are several ways to program AVR microcontrollers. We are programming it with USBASP v2.0 serial programmer. For demonstration we will use ATmega16 Microcontroller and Atmel Studio. We will test the programmer with a blink sketch. Below are the steps to burn the code into Atmega ICs using USBASP JTAG and Atmel Studio: Installing USBASP

Morse It!

Before cell phones even before telephones, people communicated through Morse code. Despite being a technology that is over 160 years old, it’s still used today among amateur radio users and on some ships. While you might not find any particular use for Morse code in your daily life, learning Morse is a fun and engaging

How to Make a PIC Programmer – PicKit 2 ‘clone’

Hi! This is a short Instructable on making a PIC programmer which acts as a PicKit 2. I made this because it is way cheaper than buying an original PicKit and because Microchip, the manufacturers of PIC microcontrollers and the PicKit programmer, provides schematics and software, making it really easy for us to design our

Atmel AVR ISP Microcontroller Programmer Project

One of the frustrating part in learning AVR microcontroller for the beginners is the AVR microcontroller programmer. The question is how to program my AVR mircrocontroller; actually if you googling on the internet and search for AVR ISP Programmer there are plenty information; start from simply using your PC parallel port to the sophisticated Atmel

USB AVR in-system Programmer using ATtiny2313

Introduction. Nowadays, USB is the most popular connection between PC and peripherals such as AVR programmers, printers, scanners etc. For that reason I had to modify my old serial AVR In-System-Programmer (ISP) to work with USB connection. You can say, “use a USB to Serial adaptor to connect your AVR ISP with your PC”. Yes, that could
