Publisher Description
Atmel's AVR microcontrollers are the chips that power Arduino, and are the go-to chip for many hobbyist and hardware hacking projects. In this book you'll set aside the layers of abstraction provided by the Arduino environment and learn how to program AVR microcontrollers directly. In doing so, you'll get closer to the chip and you'll be able to squeeze more power and features out of it.
Each chapter of this book is centered around projects that incorporate that particular microcontroller topic. Each project includes schematics, code, and illustrations of a working project.
Program a range of AVR chipsExtend and re-use other people’s code and circuitsInterface with USB, I2C, and SPI peripheral devicesLearn to access the full range of power and speed of the microcontrollerBuild projects including Cylon Eyes, a Square-Wave Organ, an AM Radio, a Passive Light-Sensor Alarm, Temperature Logger, and moreUnderstand what's happening behind the scenes even when using the Arduino IDE
Customer Reviews
Great book for learning Atmel MCU programming
This is the missing link between the highly technical AVR datasheets and real life experiential learning. Elliot Williams makes a lot of effort to demystify core functions of the ATMega series of MCUs, which can then be easily adapted to any of the Atmel AVRs. In my opinion to really get the most out of this excellent book try not to clone his code from git and just compile and run it. Each program is not too big. Try to hand type it, even the comments and spend some time to really understand what you are typing. 5 stars for a great reading and learning experience.
