RS Components will stock Microchip’s AVR microcontroller IoT development board for Google Cloud, which enables the fast prototyping of cloud-connected devices. By Ally Winning [via] The Microchip AVR-IoT WG development board uses an ATmega4808 AVR-based MCU, with a ATECC608A...

RS Components is now stocking Microchip’s MPLAB Snap in-circuit debugger/programmer, for simple and quick debugging and programming of most Microchip PIC, AVR and SAM flash MCUs. [via] The MPLAB® Snap In-Circuit Debugger/Programmer allows affordable, fast and easy debugging and...

Microchip has launched MPLAB X IDE version 5.05 which beta supports the majority of AVR MCUs – allowing developers to easily incorporate AVR MCUs into any application. [via] Further support for additional AVR MCUs will be provided in MPLAB versions. AVR support will continue...

In continuation of the development of microcontrollers for a real-time control system, Microchip unveils a new set of microcontroller family based around the known Atmel ATtiny family called the ATtiny1607 family. Microchip is hoping to continue support for the Atmel's famous AVR set...

An SD card based standalone AVR Programmer is live on kickstarter and has 24 days to go. Here at proto-pic HQ we make kits, lots of kits, and that means lots of AVR programming. We found this a tedious task and wanted a solution to make the whole thing quick and easy. No more did we...

Madis Kaal @ nomad.ee designed a infrared repeater based on ATMEL AVR + TSOP1738 infrared receiver. He writes: I built this MCU based infrared repeater to allow me to control my A/V equipment that is behind a wall. The system is very simple. Power is supplied to CON1 from a cheap...

David Johnson-Davies @ technoblogy.com has a nice guide on how to program ATtiny10 6-pin mcu using the arduino IDE. Programming is done using the widely available USBasp programmer from Thomas Fischl. Examples are also included on the guide. Unlike the SPI protocol used to program the...

AVR is a family of microcontrollers developed by Atmel beginning in 1996. These are modified Harvard architecture 8-bit RISC single-chip microcontrollers. The Atmel AVR core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers. Atmel’s ATmega8 comes from the AVR...
