The greatest thing about handheld programmers is the amount of time they can save when it comes to programming a large number of devices. With them it is a simple case of pre-programming the programmer with the correct code, plugging it in to a device and pressing a single button. That is all it takes.

Affordable and reliable USB for your projects
Despite a number of alternates and variations being available USB 2.0 remains the most popular form of connectivity to include in a device. This is as true of prototype and one off projects as it is mass produced equipment. Whilst a number of options are available to achieve adding it, Quick USB modules are a solution which we would not hesitate to recommend.

Quick connectivity with CANUSB
In order for microcontrollers to work effectively they need to be able to communicate with devices without needing to be connected to a host computer. This is important otherwise the micro part would be lost; in order to accommodate the computer controllers would have to be far larger and more expensive.
Understanding what universal means in universal programmers
There are, to start this article with wording we wouldn’t normally use, very few areas of our world which are not touched by controversy from time to time. Our area of expertise – programmers, chips and other forms of electronic tools – is by no means an exception to this. If we were asked to identify one area in particular which has been controversial over the years, it is with little or no hesitation that we’d say universal programmers.

AVR Dragon is an affordable entry level development tool
An AVR is a low cost programmable microcontroller that can be used in a wide number of different electronic products. The AVR offers everything that a larger chip provides, including memory, ADC and serial ports but in a much smaller package. Many components can be connected directly onto the AVR microcontroller, saving space and increasing your ability to customise the chip to suit your needs.

The programming benefits of Bluetooth
With Wi-Fi networks and connectivity being so prevalent in this day and age there’s a tendency to, for want of a better term, “forget” about Bluetooth. Although it was, for many, the first experience many had with wireless connectivity, the speed, power and range possible with Wi-Fi has seen a substantial change in how we wirelessly connect devices. It would, however, be wrong to say Bluetooth has been abandoned all together. In the programming environment it still holds many distinct advantages. We supply Bluetooth starter kits designed to let you access them. Continue reading “The programming benefits of Bluetooth” »
Atmel Studio ELF production Files for AVR
Atmel have added a new feature to Atmel Studio from 6.2 on-wards including 7. You can now create a single file that contains all the data needed to program an AVR or ATxmega microcontroller. This includes flash, EEPROM, fuses, lock bits and ATxmega User Row. This is called an ELF production file and Kanda AVR Handheld Programmers now support this format.
