String Formatting & Standard library of AVR

Here in this article, I am planning to brief you through the Standard library of AVR-GCC. By the term “Standard Library” we mean the “Standard header” files like “stdio.h”, we commonly see in C programming language. Have you ever used String Formatting in ANSI C?Did you use Standard library functions? If you are familiar with C programming language, then you must be familiar with standard header…

LCD Interfacing with AVR

Interfacing LCD Display in 8bit Mode

Now let us come to the interfacing side of LCD. Let us see the 8bit mode interfacing of the LCD display with an AVR micro controller first. I have added two circuits in this post

1) Interfacing LCD with Avr Atmega8 and

2) Interfacing with Atmega32.

Towards the end you can see the real life display as an image where I displayed characters“Circuits Today”

Handling the Digital Input Output in AVR Micro Controllers

I have already discussed about a few chapters necessary to get into AVR programming. Now this is the first article that deals with programming.  Let us start with the basics.

Digital input output in AVR (I/O) is the basic feature supported by  AVR micro controller. To facilitate digital input output, three registers are associated with each port of the micro controller.

Data Direction Register–…

Avr Atmega8 Microcontroller – An Introduction

In my previous article, I’ve discussed about ATmega32. Now, let me introduce another member of AVR microcontroller family, the ATmega8. This member has many features similar to that ofATmega32. But it has reduced number of features and capabilities, yet it has enough features to work with. Now let me tell you that if you want to gather knowledge and at the same time want to do it in less cost…

AVR Studio 4 and 5-Overview for Beginners

For general purpose computers, programs written in one programming language can support different hardware configurations. But things are different for microcontroller.  Each family of micro controllers have its own unique type of hardware architecture, instruction sets, register configuration and memories.

So for each architecture of Micro controller family, there will be at least one compiler a…

So you’ve designed a plethora of cool DIY Maker projects with Atmel-based Arduino boards. Want to take the next step with stand-alone Atmel AVR microcontrollers (MCUs)? 

Written by Elliot Williams, Make: AVR Programming will help you discover how the AVR’s built-in hardware peripherals can be harnessed to solve various design issues, allowing Makers and engineers to fully benefit from working…
