Project by Noel A. Rios. Complete schematics and full source code are available. Here is an 8051-series flash microcontroller programmer which can program the AT89C2051, AT89C4051, AT89C51, AT89C52, ...

If you want to try microcontroller programming but think the tools are too complicated or too expensive you should order Elektor’s new book PIC Microcontroller Programming. The book shows you how to ...

As promised, this part starts with a simple programming tutorial on the PIC12F675 microcontroller which shows you how to program and use it as a simple LED flasher. It’s assumed that you have ...

The most common way of programming AVR microcontrollers is the In System Programming port. That little six-pin header with MOSIs and MISOs coming out of it will program every AVR you’ll ever come ...

Just like a PC’s USB port, the serial port on a PC can also in some cases serve as a power supply. A USB port can provide as much as 500 mA at 5V, but a serial port provides less power. Even with the ...

Once you graduate beyond development boards like the Arduino or Wemos D1, you’ll find yourself in the market for a dedicated programmer. In most cases, your needs can be met with a cheap USB to serial ...

The programmer software provided by STC for their 8051-compatible microcontrollers (MCUs) only runs on Microsoft Windows. For developers who are more used to other operating systems, this project, ...
