After the introduction of Intel’s Tiger Lake U-series processors that have support for TDPs up to 28W, notable vendors started adopting the Tiger Lake-U series to launch interesting systems that give a twist to the original NUC’s 100mm x 100mm ultra-compact form-factor (UCFF), and one of them happens to be ASRock Industrial. Barely a month after ASRock unveiled ASRock […]
Introduction Atmel, AVR microcontrollers (MCUs) are very easy to use. All AVR microcontrollers require Integrated Development Environment(IDE) such as Atmel Studio. Using this IDE, we can create, compile, and debug programs on all AVR microcontrollers. Atmel Studio is available free of charge. To download and install the latest Atmel studio use this link. Note: There are possibly
