Have you heard about the Atmel AVR ISP
or Atmel AVR dragon? Do you want to know about the AVR
microcontroller? Do you want to know the basics about the AVR
programming? If the answers to all the above mentioned questions are
yes, you are at just the right place.
If you are interested in the AVR programming and you are familiar with the terms like AVR development boards, programmers,
starter kits, emulators, chips and modules, this one is perfect you.
Let us talk about the most important of all; AVR microcontroller.
The first of all, for all the people who do not know what AVR
microcontroller is; here is the answer for you. To understand what it
is, imagine the motherboard of your PC. It provides all the functions
right from providing the intelligence to the RAM. So, the
microcontroller is a device which is similar to that which has provides
most of those functions so that one does not need a motherboard. AVR
microcontroller is a microcontroller manufactured by Atmel. To install
programs into the AVR, we need a programmer which is manufactured by
Atmel; known as Atmel AVR ISP.
Like there are different types of AVR development boards,
there are mainly two types of microcontrollers; AVR and PIC. So, here
are reasons of choosing the AVR (Atmel) over PIC (microchip). Let us
browse through some of the benefits of using the same.
For the AVR microcontroller development, AVR Dragon
is used. It is the combination of the programmer and ‘In circuit’
Emulator. One of the most important benefits is that it is easy to
learn. Even the non professionals can learn it easily. Another advantage
is that it is that it is less expensive. Also, upgrading them is
easier as compared to the PIC. They are appropriate for the high speed
applications. In addition to that, they are extremely user friendly.
Moreover, they do not need programmer.
