The ATmega 8 is programmed using an ICSP programmer. In my case, I used an Arduino UNO as an ICSP programmer. By default, the microcontroller uses the internal 8MHz internal PC oscillator, but we want ...

With these configuration files you can program bare ATmega microcontrollers from the Arduino IDE, without using the Arduino bootloader. It supports chips using external or internal clocks. Skipping ...

There are many reasons to build your own Arduino circuit on a protoboard or a custom-designed printed circuit board. At the heart of the Arduino platform is an AVR microcontroller, in usual way you ...

[jelengar] liked the ease of use of the Arduino, but wanted a much higher pin count. He set about converting the ATmega Controller for use with Wiring, the code that the Arduino IDE is based on. The ...

Since you lacked the USB interface in your own Arduino board, it becomes necessary to use a homemade/ready-made USB to Serial Converter Module as an efficient and economical solution. Inexpensive and ...

[Daniel Andrade] has built a pretty cool mood lamp circuit. He was initially inspired by [Toon Beerton’s] Ikea lamp, but found he just didn’t have the knowledge to proceed with the PIC processor. He ...
