Until now we learned how to connect an LED as an output device, and a button switch as an input device. Besides, we already studied the basic facts about AVR fuses, and the coding procedure to a ...

Very rarely do we see an Instructable so complete, and so informative, that it’s a paragon of tutorials that all Instructables should aspire to. [8 Bit Spaghetti]’s How to Build an 8-bit computer is ...

A timer is a simple counter! The input clock of microcontroller and operation of the timer is independent of the program execution.All the Atmel microcontrollers have Timers as an inbuilt peripheral.

Building a CPU out of logic gates is a great way to learn about the inner workings of microprocessors, and we’ve seen several impressive projects in this area. [c0pperdragon] set himself the task of ...

Some of the most interesting projects in computing are the "Just for fun," builds that individuals dream up. A year and a half ago, we met the Megaprocessor, a room-scale CPU implementation with each ...
