Atmel AVR Studio - Download and Install

Image
In the previous article, we learn why AVR microcontrollers are so popular for designing embedded system projects. We have got the basic knowledge of ATmega16 Pin description  and other required data through its datasheet. Now we can move forward to code our microcontroller. So In this article, we are going to install and setup the Atmel studio.  Source: ATMEL HOW TO INSTALL ATMEL STUDIO  Those who have been using an earlier version of Atmel studio can realize that there are not so much difference between the new version of Atmel studio except the awesome UI. To download the atmel studio first you have to go to the atmel website or simply click  here . There you may see two option for downloading atmel studio like this: Software                   Description           1                          Atmel studio (latest version name)...

AVR Microcontroller ATmega16 - An Introduction

ATMEL AVR microcontrollers are very popular among Engineers,Students and Hobbyist  for designing mid range embedded system projects. All embedded system needs brain that receives external signal, interprets it and perform a set of task accordingly. AVR microcontroller are best option for this purpose because AVR microcontroller have powerful instruction set and have high speed.In this article we'll discuss the basic  of ATMEL ATmega16 microcontroller. WHICH AVR I USE  AVR Features ATMEL AVR microcontrollers are available in the market in many varieties. But most popular and used AVR microcontrollers are ATmega8, Atmega16 and ATmega32. All these microcontrollers are belongs to ATMEL mega family. There are no difference between avr microcontroller. They only differs in memory size and Price. Nomenclature of Atmega uCs Atmega16 Pin Configuration Pin Configuration Pin 10 and 11 : These pins are available for the power supply of uC. Atmega16 works at 5V. Pin 9 : This pin is u...
