In the “Say It with Me” series, we’ll take a commonly used concept out of electronics and explain it the best we can. If there’s something that’s been bugging you, or a certain term or concept that ...

When it comes to ATmega8 basic I/O interfacing, we just learned how to connect a switch as an input device to control one LED connected as an output device. Now a simple tour through selected areas of ...

The first program anyone writes for a microcontroller is the blinking LED which involves toggling a general-purpose input/output (GPIO) on and off. Consequently, the same GPIO can be used to read ...

These days, if you need to connect two devices via wire, you'll most likely use HDMI. This display protocol supports all sorts of device pairings. It lets you use your iPhone with an external display, ...

Some applications require a positive voltage to be generated from a negative input voltage. This can be done either by using a transformer based topology, such as a flyback converter, or with a ...

ATmega8 microcontroller has 23 programmable input/output (I/O) pins which can be used for interfacing with external world. It is possible to configure them as input or output by setting a particular ...
