If you saw a device that had a laptop form factor playing sound and video, alt-tabbing over to play a game or take some notes ...

The AVR 8-bit microcontroller's modified Harvard architecture was introduced in 1997. These Atmel microcontrollers are popular among a reasonably large number of developers because they provide decent ...

AVR-Laptop squeezes multitasking, apps, games, and video playback into a homemade PC powered by an 8-bit ATmega2560 with just ...

[Mark] had seen a few examples of algorithmic music generation that takes some simple code and produces complex-sounding results. Apparently it’s possible to pipe the output of code like this directly ...

How much performance can an 8-bit AVR squeeze from addressable LEDs? Assembly, IAR, and GCC reveal the impact on timing, ...

In this article, I'll be explaining the basics of how microcontrollers work, physically and virtually. First off, microcontrollers are no simple thing, so don't be discouraged if you find it ...

The Arduino line of open source electronic prototyping platforms is getting some major upgrades. Earlier today, the first Intel-powered Arduino was announced, and it will be available by the end of ...

Until recently, a very common problem faced by electronic circuit designers was the difference in supply voltage standards between microcontrollers (e.g. 3.3 V) and peripheral ICs (e.g. 5 V). In order ...
