The majority of AVR MCUs are now beta supported with the release of MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) version 5.05, available today from Microchip Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHP).

His project lets you play simple algorithms as audio using AVR microcontrollers. Now the code work for this is very simple, but he hardware implementation is where things get interesting.

Arduino makes electronics projects easier,and that’s why Arduino is intentionally included in this AVR tutorial series. Next,we are going to start a simple robotic project using an AVR microcontroller ...

Almost all AVR microcontrollers have built-in Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM).The advantage of EEPROM is that even when the microcontroller is turned off, data stored in ...

Atmel's AVR Studio 5 supports all of Atmel's 8- and 32-bit microprocessors. It is based On Microsoft Visual Studio and adds a smart editor to the mix.

Using the AVR CPU the ATtiny10 is claimed to provide six times the performance of other similar sized microcontrollers. This processing efficiency reduces the time in active mode and increases the ...

The AT90USB82 and AT90USB162 AVR microcontrollers from Atmel Corp. incorporate a number of performance features, including a full-speed (12-Mbit/s) USB controller.

Designers who have traditionally used Microchip’s PIC microcontrollers (MCUs) and developed with the MPLAB ecosystem can now easily evaluate and incorporate AVR MCUs into their applications. The ...
