The project was based on ATmega8 microcontroller and is designed to convert NES/SNES controllers to USB. The device has been designed to be as small as possible since there is no space inside a SNES ...

Designers who have traditionally used Microchip’s PIC microcontrollers (MCUs) and developed with the MPLAB ecosystem can now easily evaluate and incorporate AVR MCUs into their applications. The ...

Atmel® Corporation a leader in microcontroller and touch solutions, announced the release of 13 new devices in 3 different product series in its 32-bit AVR® UC3 product portfolio. The award-winning ...

Microchip has released the MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) version 5.05, which beta supports the majority of AVR microcontrollers (MCUs). This release will allow designers who ...

Readers of Hackaday are no strangers to using a microcontroller to push data to WiFi. Even before the ESP8266 there were a variety of ways to do that. Now Microchip is joining the fray with a $29 ...

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 ...

Microchip has created an AVR microcontroller series with 12Mbit/s USB 2.0 and code protection. “As the next generation of Microchip 8-bit MCUs to integrate USB connectivity, the AVR DU family is ...

One of the new boards supports the ATmega168, an 8-bit AVR microcontroller. The other two are for users of the SAM D21 or SAM R21 families of ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontrollers. The distributor has ...

Today you might choose run Windows, Linux, MacOS or some other OS on your computer. Back in the 1980s however, you generally had little choice: a certain home computer came with a certain OS, and that ...
