We love looking at hardcore electronics projects with a beefy microcontroller and hundreds, if not thousands, of lines of code at its center. But everyone needs to get there somehow. This tutorial ...

Microcontrollers existed before the Arduino, and a device that anyone could program and blink an LED existed before the first Maker Faire. This might come as a surprise to some, but for others PICs ...

Microchip Technology has introduced the MPLAB PICkit Basic, an affordable and versatile in-circuit debugger designed to simplify programming and debugging for engineers, hobbyists, and students. The ...

Here you can learn many more interesting and useful about USB bootloaders for AVR microcontrollers. In practice, one of the most proper microcontroller programming method is using a bootloader program ...

As soon as we start getting familiar with the basics of Arduino, we start noticing some interesting components that are not commonly used on the Arduino. One of these things are the ICSP headers. They ...
