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 ...

[Jeremy] got tired of plugging jumper wires into a breadboard when programming his ATMega8 (including the ‘168 and ‘328) microcontrollers. The solution?

No problem, he figured out how to flash the PIC24FJ using an ATmega8. To get started, he grabbed a copy of the flash programming specifications from Microchip.

Now that the mechanical assembly part is over,and we have completed the construction of left and right (L&R) infrared sensor cards. Since the MCU (ATmega8) cannot drive the dc motors directly, a ...
