I've been interested in getting into microcontroller programming lately, and I've been looking at Microchips PIC16F and PIC18F series (especially the PIC16F), and also Atmel's ATtiny and ATmega series ...

While the ATMega328 is “mega” for a microcontroller, it’s still a fairly limited platform. It has plenty of I/O and working memory for most tasks, but this Battleship game that [thorlancaster328] has ...

The Ubuntu Linux distribution has been ported to the cheapest and most portable platform yet: An Atmel ATmega microcontroller. Boasting a 20MHz 8-bit AVR processor, 128KB of flash storage and a ...

Since Microchip acquired Atmel, the fields of battle have fallen silent. The Crusaders have returned home, or have been driven into the sea. The great microcontroller holy war is over. As with any ...

Joining the vendor’s 32-pin picoPower AVR microcontroller family, the ATmega48P, ATmega88P, ATmega168P, and ATmega328P devices have 4, 8, 16, and 32 kbytes of flash memory, respectively, providing a ...

This one caught my eye - an Arduino-based lie detector that can measure the skin's response to a question. At the heart of this project is an Arduino Nano, based on the Atmel ATmega328 (for the Nano 3 ...

The project was built around the powerful Atmel ATmega16 processor to create an AVR robot controller that will be used as the base controller for a Mini-Sumo robot project. The processor used for this ...
