AVR Workshop

A Hands-On Introduction with 60 Projects

Build more than 55 hands-on, wide-ranging projects with the popular and versatile AVR family of microcontrollers.

AVR Workshop is a comprehensive introduction to working with the Microchip AVR 8-bit family of microcontrollers – made famous through their use in Arduino and other compatible boards. Whether you’re an absolute beginner or longtime electronics enthusiast, this book gives you the latest coding and hardware knowledge required to build over 55 projects. After the author guides you through the basic C programming skills you need to work directly with ATmega328P-PU and ATtiny85 microcontrollers, your operation will be up and running. You’ll go from building blinking LEDs and handling various types of user input, to creating real-time clocks, digital thermometers, and even controlling small motorized devices.
