Better Prototyping with your Atmel AVR

Posted on November 19, 2014 by AndrewR

Get your AVR Project Going Faster

I’ve been working with AVR microcontrollers for years, and was lucky enough to be a bit lazy – laziness surely is the mother of invention! After a few iterations, I came up with the T-Board – a prototyping platform for the more popular Atmel AVR microcontrollers. These boards got my Atmel-based embedded projects going in no time, and gave me the flexibility that platforms such as the Arduino didn’t offer the more serious hobbyists.

After the T-Board was born, I decided to share my learnings with others, and was really excited to have the opportunity to work with Elektor magazine, a respected international electronics publication. By working together, we’ve made the lives of hundreds of hobbyists and enthusiasts that little bit easier.

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.
