To program these chips, [Aaron] first had to wire up the microcontroller into a circuit. This was just a bit of perf board, a resistor, a few caps, and a USB A plug.

For beginners learning to program Arduinos, a web-based, fully networked developer environment called Codebender could drastically reduce the learning curve.

Back in the olden days, when the Wire library still sucked, the Arduino was just a microcontroller. Now, we have single board computers and cheap microcontrollers with WiFi built in. As always ...

The Arduino IDE is a user-friendly platform that simplifies the process of writing, compiling, and uploading code to microcontrollers.

Enough with the learning let’s get our hands working and build a custom ICSP cable to program/bootload an Arduino, an ATMEGA328P (chip used in Arduino UNO) , or any other AVR microcontroller. Things ...

There are many reasons to build your own Arduino circuit on a protoboard or a custom-designed printed circuit board. At the heart of the Arduino platform is an AVR microcontroller, in usual way you ...
