I have a little USB-powered light. I'd like to be able to turn it on and off with software. I'll be attaching it to a Linux computer. I have an Atmel ATtiny2313 from a previous project, but I'd rat...

When I try to run Atmel Studio 7.0, it throws an error, Cannot find one or more components. Please reinstall the application This error also appears multiple times when I install Atmel Studio. Ho...

Can somebody suggest me any disassembler for Atmel AVR 8-bit microcontrollers? There are opensource projects for this? Thanx.

I am trying to configure SQLite to run on an embedded system (ARM® Cortex®-M7). I have downloaded the amalgamation from the SQLite website, imported it into the project, and added the following sym...

Looking at the AVR instruction set there are four instructions added in 2010 LAC load and clear LAS load and set LAT load and toggle XCH load and exchange Does anyone know what chips have these...

I'm trying to use hardware PWM on ATmega2560, using TC0 (an 8-bit timer), in Fast PWM mode. I need to dynamically adjust the duty cycle, and this includes zero duty cycle. However, this does not ap...

During a debugging session, I found out that snprintf is not working as expected when compiling the code with avr-gcc. The example code should simply convert the floating point value 3999.9f into i...

I've been searching for a few days now without any luck. Heap memory fragmentation is a result of using malloc() and free() heavily in microcontrollers/Arduino. If using them is unavoidable, how ...

What is the mechanism used to preserve the status register, sreg, in an AVR microcontroller? RETI implies that these bits are not on the stack. Is one of the general purpose registers also the sreg...

I'm working on a developing board that has a 32-bit ARM based microntroller on it (namely the board is Atmel SAM D21J18A). I'm still at the learning phase and I have a lot to go, but I'm really int...

I am having a problem in calculating delays. I want to make a delay for 1 sec when I am using 1MHz clock speed for my atmega128 microcontroller. I use proteus for simulation and avr studio for cod...

I want to create a GUI driven application for a micro-controller (Atmel XMEGA) that is connected to a 128x64 dots graphics LCD (EA DOGL128-6) and 4 buttons for navigation. Controlling the di...

I am currently developing an embedded c++ project in Atmel Studio 6. This project has a fairly significant embedded portion and also a significant business logic portion. Ideally I would like to ru...

I have been migrating an IAR project to Atmel Studio 6. It took me some time to create all the folders and getting the right structure as it is in the IAR project. Then I realized that I created a ...

Occasionally I will get an unexpected interrupt, and my code will hang inside Dummy_Handler() in exceptions.c of the Atmel Studio Framework (ASF). I am using the ATSAM3X8E microcontroller of the Ar...

I want to know more about Arduino Nano timers. What timers are there? Do they produce interrupts? What code would attach an interrupt handler to them? How is delay() and delayMicroseconds() imple...

What are the advantages of using ATmega32 than other microcontrollers? Is it better than PIC, ARM, and 8051?
