Sometime last year we ran out of ATmega8 microcontrollers. These became obsolete and were being replaced by the ATmega8A. Unfortunately we have seen huge shortages in AVR microcontrollers over the last 18 months and the new ATmega8A was no different. Whilst shortages still continue, we have managed to get hold of some ATmega8As in the...
We'll start off with DC Panel mount Jacks. These are similar to the DC Jacks that we bundle with the ATMEGA168 Development Kits, except they have a panel mounting. Simple drill a hole in your panel, pop these in and screw them into place. These 6 pin IDC connectors are available as both female and...
EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) Is non-volatile memory, meaning it persists after power is removed. The ATmega168 microcontroller has 512 bytes of EEPROM which can be used to store system parameters and small amounts of data. This tutorial shows you how to read and write EEPROM. Overview Our code examples will be very...
