In this age of microelectronics and robotics, we are fortunate enough with the availablilty of a vast range of compact, easy to use and flexible robotics project kits. Usually in almost all hobby ...

[Q] wrote in to let us know about the AVR-Guide he’s been working on. It looks like he’s finished posting about 80% of the content he planned for in his initial draft outline. We read through several ...

You know the basics about how the chip is clocked. Every microcontroller chip uses a clock, which keeps track of time for the chip, in general one assembly code instruction is run every clock cycle.

You can learn to program using assembly language. (See www.avr-asm-tutorial.net for a good tutorial.) But if you plan to use an AVR microcontroller, you'll find more flexibility comes from using C.
