baweja_akshay @ instructables.com has build a ATMEGA328 component tester that is able to test Resistors, Capacitors, Inductors, BJT, FET, Thyristors and more. Coming upon COMPONENT TESTER so it can test almost everything, obviously not the power components because they require more...

Markus Hirsch is working on a ESP8266 weather display using an AVR mcu and an OLED display: This is a little weather monitor. It has a 2.2" color display and is powered by an AVR and the ESP8266. The AVR controles the display. The ESP has a custom firmware written in the Arduino IDE...

ohneschuh @ instructables.com has build a Arduino Shield that is able to program spare ATmega328 and ATtiny85 mcu using the ISP sketch. Beside my Arduino instructables I also use pure ATmega328 and ATtiny85 microcontrollers. To program them I normally used a breadboard and the...

Arduino IDE latest version is ready for download.  New features include the arduino-builder tool for command-line fans, a nifty Serial plotter that should help with visualizing sensor readings and tons of bug fixes. From the Arduino blog: Today we are very proud to release Arduino...

by Graham Prophet @ edn-europe.com: Atmel ATmegaS128 AVR microcontrollers are now produced in space-grade quality, including latch-up immunity, ceramic packaging and extended temperature range for next-generation of space applications. AtmegaS128 – the first µC Rad Tolerant...

Steve Rodgers writes: Here’s my latest project. Its an AC energy metering board using an Atmel 90E24 energy metering chip. The board can either take an ESP8266-12 and run a native C application, or the ESP8266-12 can be omitted, and an external microcontroller can be used to talk...

jeelabs @ github.com has written a firmware for ESP8266 that enables it to talk to RS232 of your mcu via WiFi and also programm your mcu via WiFi. He writes: This firmware connects an attached micro-controller to the internet using a ESP8266 Wifi module. It implements a number of...

Atmega8 Development Board provides a very simple and cost effective platform for prototyping solution.  The compact design provides connection to all the pins of the microcontroller for the user. Prototyping solution available for 28-pin ATmega series AVR microcontroller from...
