Most of the time I design and debug my AVR projects on solderless breadboards nowadays. And for that I have been using some different types of programmers by now: starting…
Just a small teaser: today I received my circuit boards from PCBgogo – a layout which I just had sent to the Chinese manufacturer last Sunday.
It is a USBasp, which can be placed on a breadboard and at the same time supplies the power rails on the sides. More to come…
A couple of years ago I mounted an Atmel STK500, a couple of breadboards and a power supply in a briefcase. This allowed me to bring test circuits to my lectures and demonstrate them in the class room.
Since I now have abandoned the STK500 in favor of just a USB programmer for AVR microcontrollers, I decided to rip out the STK500 and instead mount even more breadboard tiles inside the briefcase. This is how it looks now:
[latexpage] After the first two parts of this series ATmega328P – measuring its own supply voltage ATmega328P – measuring its own supply voltage II where I investigated the possibility of…
[latexpage] Here is a brief follow up from yesterday's post on the internal reference voltage VBG of the ATmega328P. I wrote a small test program where I wait for a…
[latexpage] The trick is not new, it is utilized in the AVR transistor tester which you can buy for quite cheap money from China, and it has been discussed in…
Breadboards are great! I mean the solderless breadboard type which you can get everywhere now for almost no money. I use them all the time to prototype electronics circuits and…
