Porting Arduboy to the ATMega4809 and making it run on a Arduino Nano Every. Story After learning about the Arduboy on ATMega4809 challenge, we decided to join in the fun and port Arduboy to a new microcontroller. In the spirit of staying with true 8 bit gaming we chose the ATMega4809. This relatively new microcontroller …
FPGAs are great and there are a number of cool things you can do with them. But as we come across more and more FPGA development boards, we realize that only a few of them are actually designed to be inserted into a breadboard. The new Mercury 2 development board by MicroNova is a breadboard-friendly Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA board packaged in a …

In Sayanee’s Basu’s video, we can look at the design considerations in the process of taking a breadboard prototype to a custom PCB, from the microcontroller to the various subsystems, to the power, the bootloader, and even how to deal with faulty components. A breadboard can be useful for educational purposes, art projects, and even small …

Introduction The AVRISP looks just like the JTAGICE, except it’s a bit smaller and it has a 6-pin connector on the end of the cable instead of the 10-pin connector on the JTAGICE. The AVRISP programmer does not have the advanced debugging features of the JTAGICE, but it still allows you to load your program …
Introduction This page describes a prototype board for the Atmel Mega644 or Mega32 (PDIP) MCU. It includes a power supply, crystal clock, and generous bypass capacitors. A six-pin header allows flash memory programming from an STK500 or AVRISPmkII. All port pins are brought out to a single row of vias on 0.1 inch centers. A …
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 …
This is a tutorial for programming the ATtiny chip. This tutorial will be more in depth than most. I will give you every step and tell you the things nobody told me when I first started programming ATtiny. Things You’ll Need – Arduino Uno( Can be done with other boards but I will be using …
In this Instructables I am going to show you how to make a very useful development board for your favourite Atmel microcontroller that will help you save up to the third of the space on your breadboard and let you move your microcontroller around without any loose connections problems. It will also help you connect …
Display is the necessary part of any machine whether it is any home appliance or industrial machines. Display not only shows the control options to operate the machine but also shows the status and output of the task performed by that machine. There are many types of displays used in electronics like 7-segment display, 16×2 LCD display, TFT …

Many of our clients face a common challenge when undertaking IoT projects. They are experts in their own fields, and most of of them have a great idea, a proof-of-concept (PoC), or a sophisticated algorithm that addresses some specific need. They have simulated their solution in Matlab or Python and are eager to build and …
