AVR and Embedded System Resources

We’ve included some links to useful resources, ones that we’ve either used in the past or have created ourselves. They’re focussed mostly on AVR and Embedded systems – hopefully they’ll be useful to you as well.

Build a Breadboard Arduino

Build an Arduino on a Breadboard

Build an Arduino on a Breadboard

Want to build your own Arduino on a Breadboard?

This project, originally posted on Instructables, gets you going with building your own standalone ATMega328 projects. This is a great way to start migrating projects off the Arduino platform, giving you the flexibility you need to build them into your projects.

 

 

Bootload an ATMega328 Microcontroller

Bootload an ATmega328

Bootload an ATmega328P

Did you buy an Atmel ATmega328 Controller without a bootloader?

This project, originally posted on Instructables, shows you how to bootload your ATmega328 microcontroller using an Arduino Uno and the Arduino IDE. It also touches on the differences between the ATmega328-PU and ATmega328P-PU.

In Your Words

Thank you for this simplification of subject. … MSP430 … timers … are not very clearly explained anywhere exept here. Your work has been a lifesaver for me. Thank you again.

Go Beyond the Arduino
ebook - Arduino to AVR

I've just completed my brand new guide Arduino to AVR: Get Started in 3 Steps.
Get it now on Payhip for only $1.65.

Challenge yourself and learn how to gain the flexibility and additional control that the AVR microcontroller offers.

As a free bonus, get an ATmega328P pinout cheatsheet.

A Few Favourites

Podcasts

  • The Spark Gap is hosted by Karl & Corey, and has some nicely focussed technical topics.
  • The Amp Hour covers a wide range of topics, some humour and a few rants!
  • Embedded.FM is hosted by Elecia and Chris and has a wide range of interesting (and sometimes eclectic) guests.

YouTube Channels

  • AddOhms is run by the Bald Engineer, with awesome short clips
  • Contextual Electronics is Chris Gammel's channel with some great Kicad tutorials
  • Martin Lorton has a funny South African accent like me, and covers a great range of topics. Lots of equipment and solar.

Websites

There are too many to list, so these are some lesser-known ones:
  • edX is a MOOC with some great EE courses for free
  • All About Circuits is an online book taking you from basic electronics through to the serious stuff. Really excellent resource
  • Nuts and Volts Magazine has some great projects, and a series of articles I'm working on so I'm shamelessly plugging it.
