Ok, flamewar time I guess. I am looking to explore new microcontrollers because the ones I have under my belt are coming up short for what I need. I have a lot of experience with the 16 series of PICs from Microchip, I have played with basic Stamps (I, II, SX), some experience with Motorola's HC11, HC12 and HC16 series. Currently I use Atmel's AVR (Atmega128) at work. But in trying to b...

Some of you may remember me from the thread I started a month or so ago about building my own keyboard. Well, now I'm up to my eyeballs in the USB and HID specs and AVR datasheets. I've actually got something working using Atmel's AT90USBKey demo board. Now that I'm getting close to knowing what I want to build hardware-wise, how do I go about getting it produced? The AVR microcont...

I'm trying to find some code for my CompactFlash project. All the code I find is for AVR and obviously wont work. Does anyone have any full code I can have? OR can recommend a place to purchase code? Most of the code I have found for sell is for x86 boards. Thanks, Sean

Hello, Since the Atmel STK500 is much cheaper in the US than in Europe (79USD in the US, around 120EUR in Europa are the prices I found) I'd need a recommendation for a good webshop in the US. Of course it should be cheap ;), reliable. Shipping and handling shouldn't be too expensive (to the US, not to Europe; I'd ex-/import it myself). Thank you very much for any hints and tips! Regard...

The NXP LPC1110 starts at less than $1 for a 4KB flash part. That's cheaper than an AVR in my experience! I'm not really sure if it's all that more powerful but it's good enough for me. The thing I like is that it also has a single I/O line debugging, just like AVR's DebugWire, which isn't available on all parts and for which you need to purchase ATMEL's programmer since no one else ha...

Hello All, I'll have few holidays in coming month so was thinking to have something interesting to play around. I have done little work with ARMx with GNU tool chain but honestly i should say that there are still things that make me feel unfomfortable. I remember reading this [ http://www.embedded.com/design/opensource/200000632?_requestid=46173 ] 7 part article while ago an...

Hey gang, I have to admit, I'm a gadget whore and I love freebies, so this evening I've been walking up and down google, looking for fun electronic samples. Stuff from maximm and Atmel have jumped out at me, but where else might an intrepid young geek find good, fun, free bits?

Greetings: Since I work in a research lab environment with a very wide range of responsibilities, I've decided to try to standardize as much as possible on a minimum number of microcontroller platforms for embedded control/processing applications. The ones I have chosen are the Atmel AVR for smaller stuff, and the TMS320F281x DSP/microcontrollers from TI for applications requiring ve...

Hello, Has anybody already worked with this microcontroller family? Which is your opinion? They seem very interesting because they use an ARM7 core processor and include very useful communications peripherals (ethernet MAC, usb controller, ...) Does anybody know if there are free developing tools: - compiler / linker: i guess that GCC may be useful as this family uses ARM7 cores. - [b...

I have the AVRISP and when programming the ATMega 8 chip I have 2 chips out of four that have locked up when been reprogrammed to the point the AVRISP programmer complains it can not enter programming mode. I asked ATMEL about the problem and they just said that I must have the wrong fuse bits set! IMHO why the hell should a product produced by a comercial company have a bug that allows...

I was looking at the Atmel AT91R40008 for a new design. However I realised it dosen't support I2C. Does anyone have a recommendation about how to interface a real time clock, and maybe a serial eeprom. Is an I2C bus master a sensible approach, perhaps from Philips? The main objectives are low cost and good availbility. regards, Johnny.

Hello all, Consider the atmega48 microcontroller by Atmel corp. I want to connects its USART to my PC. Basically i want the microcontroller to talk to to computer. How can i do this? 1. Using a serial port? 2. Can a build my own PCI/ISA card for the pc so that it can read from the uC and send the data to the computer where other devices can use the information? 3. Other options?...

What do you really use for embedded projects? Do you use "standard" makefile or do you rely on IDE functionalities? Nowadays every MCU manufacturers give IDE, mostly for free, usually based on Eclipse (Atmel Studio and Microchip are probably the most important exception). Anyway most of them use arm gcc as the compiler. I usually try to compile the same project for the embedded target...

Hello i was looking at using a atmel 8515 or a pic (not sure which variant yet) for a project. The microcontroller will be connected to a max186 for analog aquisitions which will be stored in an eeprom, also looking at a keypad ,lcd,x10 and serial pc interface to configure the unit and download data from the eeprom.. one of my concerns on the 8515 is the price @10$ but i can use gcc, i ...
