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:

Servo Motors are widely used where precise control is required such as robots, Automated Machineries, robotic arm etc. However, the scope of the servo motor is not limited to this much and can be used in many applications. To know more about the basics, theory and working principle of servo motor follow the link.    

We previously…

Creating cloud-connected applications sometimes require significant time and resources for embedded designers to develop necessary expertise in communications protocols, security and hardware compatibility. Developers often overcome these challenges with large software frameworks and Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS), which results in increased development time, effort,…

Designers who have been using PIC microcontrollers (MCUs) and developed with the MPLAB ecosystem can now easily evaluate and use AVR microcontrollers into their applications. The majority of AVR microcontrollers are now beta supported with the release of MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) version 5.05, available now from Microchip. New…

GSM modules are interesting to use especially when our project requires remote access. These modules could make all actions that our normal mobile phone could do, like making/receiving a call, sending/receiving a SMS, connecting to internet using GPRS etc. You can also connect a normal microphone and speaker to this module and converse on your mobile calls. This will…

Making our projects Wireless always makes it to look cool and also extends the range in which it can be controlled. Starting from using a normal IR LED for short distance wireless control till an ESP8266 for worldwide HTTP control, there are lots of ways to control something wirelessly. In this project we learn how to build wireless projects using a 433 MHz RF module…

ATtiny3217 and ATtiny3216 join Microchip’s tinyAVR family with largest memory in the series

From many years AVR Microcontrollers are used for developing highly responsive sensor nodes, because of cheaper cost and easy to use. Due to increase in demand, Microchip Technology Inc. presented two new devices in its tinyAVR MCU series, with largest memory…

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, 16x2 LCD display, TFT touch screen display, OLED display…

In this tutorial let us learn How to interface HC-05 Bluetooth Module with AVR ATmega8 microcontroller. We will establish communication between Android mobile and Atmega8 through Bluetooth module which takes place through UART serial communication protocol. In this project we will control a LED using Bluetooth of our smartphone.

In this tutorial we are going to design an 8x8 LED Matrix Scrolling Display using ATMEGA32, which will show scrolling alphabets.

8x8 LED Matrix contains 64 LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) which are arranged in the form of a matrix, hence the name is LED matrix. We are going to make this Matrix by soldering 64 LEDs on to the perfboard or DOT…

If you often forget to carry the key of your Garage, and feels irritated when you are in hurry, then you must try this DIY Fingerprint Scanning Garage Door Opener. Of course you can buy any Finger Print Door opener from the market, but this DIY Garage Door Opener is much cheaper and very easy build.  

This Garage Door Opener mainly uses Finger…

Arduino is an open-source development platform for engineers and hobbyists to develop electronics projects in an easy way. It consists of both a physical programmable development board (based on AVR series of microcontrollers) and a piece of software or IDE which runs on your computer and used to write and upload the code to the…
