We used an Asian design house to design, program and build our custom MP3 player. The chip we used (Sigmatel) is no longer avaialble and the DH does not do this type of work anymor …

I am looking for some input into getting a good integrated development environment set up for AVR programming under Linux (Assembly and C). My studies gave me some limited practic …

My code is supposed to check a 50Hz signal with AVR ATMEGA32's ADC. It works at 6MHz with an external clock in both real and simulator. But when I use a 12MHz external clock the AD …

This feels like a dumb question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. If a crystal has a rated load capacitance of 6pF, is the right thing to do to put a 6pF capacitor to GND on either …

Has anyone else had instances where an AVR just mysteriously stopped working after several months, but reprogramming it would bring it back? I'm running a bunch of atmega328's in …

Hey, I was making a breadboard demo for a Microcontroller class. Basically my project is to make a score keeping device. I want to drive 4 seven segment displays using an atmega8. …

What are the hardware and software options for programming an XMEGA from Linux?

I wonder which hardware will be the best for playing with USB because its looks like a lot of projects only use atmega8 (or even attiny). But would it really be easier with an AT90 …

Hello, I am building a hot rod and i decided to make a speedometer myself with a 3 digit nixietube display. I am planning on using a atmel avr microtroller (atmega32 i beleive), …

When working with AVR microcontrollers or Arduinos, what is something that if you had known sooner would have saved you a lot of time or frustration?

Can the STK500 program the XMEGA as it arrives from Atmel?

This post answers the question of if it possible to program an Atmel AVR Raven board with avrdude or not. Yes, it is possible. My question is which programmers will work with the …

What are some recommendations on an ideal WiFi to Serial bridge? My ideal qualities would be: Simple connectivity, SPI or Serial Reasonable fast speed, at least 1mbit/sec ideally …

Hi all So, I have hooked up a ATtiny88, and am programming it with the Dragon AVR using ISP. I have also set up the build toolchain, using avrdude, and the gnu avr tools. Everythi …

I've read an appnote from TI (SLA0338) that describes a technique for generating "for real" (as opposed to "pseudo") random numbers. It exploits the somewhat exotic clock subsystem …
