The USB in-circuit programmer for Atmel AVR controllers is termed as USBasp which consists of an ATmega48 or ATmega8 along with a couple of passive components. In the design, no special USB controller ...

Turning an Arduino of virtually any sort into a simple AVR 6-pin ISP programmer is old hat. But when Atmel came out with a series of really tiny AVR chips, the ATtiny10 and friends with only six pins ...

The project utilizes an open source Atmel AVR microcontroller while incorporating a state of the art USB programmer. The firmware of the USB programmer can work for almost any AVR microcontroller on ...

[Steve] created an AVR programmer using an old USB keyboard. We feature a bunch of AVR programmers, but this one is made from parts that many people will have lying around. There are two components: ...

Not just for nerds, anyone with an interest in electronics, computers, or engineering can build a circuit to blink an LED or read a temperature sensor. The NerdKit will walk you through building the ...

Microchip has created an AVR microcontroller series with 12Mbit/s USB 2.0 and code protection. “As the next generation of Microchip 8-bit MCUs to integrate USB connectivity, the AVR DU family is ...

Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML) announced today new AVR(R) microcontrollers combining USB controller and high performance analog features. The ATmega16U4 and ATmega32U4 reduce system cost in ...
