[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: ...

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 ...

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 ...

The most common way of programming AVR microcontrollers is the In System Programming port. That little six-pin header with MOSIs and MISOs coming out of it will program every AVR you’ll ever come ...

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 ...

A new mid range in-circuit debugger and programmer has been unveiled by Atmel. The JTAGICE3 supports all Atmel AVR 8 and 32bit mcus and is said to be smaller, faster, and more robust than the previous ...

The AT90USB82 and AT90USB162 AVR microcontrollers from Atmel Corp. incorporate a number of performance features, including a full-speed (12-Mbit/s) USB controller. The AVR family of microcontrollers ...
