Thu, 06 Dec 2012 21:01:57 +0100 http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=972 Any AVR Freaks heading to Electronica next week? Fri, 09 Nov 2012 02:47:48 +0100 http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=971 This is a textbook that I have written to support my high school students learning using the AVR for their technology projects. We have 300 students who learn to program the AVR and some do neat things. The book is no charge, its almost 1000 pages of learning. It starts with Bascom and does some C and C++ (I am interested in any C++ gurus feedback on what I have written) The complementary software I have written is also free. And there are a lot of students projects on my website as well.

Thu, 06 Sep 2012 08:46:51 +0200 http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=969 We have issued a new book on programming AVR. You may see the description of the book at all Amazon stores or at this page: http://www.svet-el.si/english/ Thu, 06 Sep 2012 08:44:37 +0200 http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=968 Mollom deployment set on 2012-07-30. Hi Fellow Freaks, www.avrfreaks.net has been deployed with Mollom (SPAM Filtering Service with CAPTCHA). In advance, the changes will be seamless; there may be some intermittent maintenance task required, but not expected to have any downtime. This update has been applied on 2012-07-30. Thank you, AVRFreaks.net Support Wed, 25 Jul 2012 08:12:32 +0200 http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=966 It carries forward a bit of our previous identity but with a fresher, more forward looking feel. We’re just starting to rollout it. You’ll start seeing it more broadly in the coming weeks and months. Let us know what you think. Wed, 30 May 2012 08:47:24 +0200 http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=965 We appreciate your continued patience, as we work through the maintenance issues required to eliminate spam activity into our community. For the time being, New Registration has been re-activated so that qualified interested new people can join and participate in AVR Freaks. Thu, 17 May 2012 09:41:56 +0200 http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=964 You may have noticed that we have disabled registration to AVR Freaks today. We have been experiencing an increasing amount of spam activity and we are taking steps today to eliminate the spam and protect the integrity of our community. We appreciate your patience. A new, simple but more rigorous (but not onerous) registration process will be back in place very soon. Thanks much.

Small, fast, reliable micro OS for AVR devices Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:46:30 +0100 http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=956 Whether it's software engineers and their compilers or electrical engineers and their oscilloscopes, engineers and makers of all kinds rely on tools to build great things every day. We depend on tools so much that we often take our ability to use them for granted. The NerdKits team was contacted by a blind mechanical engineering student, and combined technologies from two earlier projects to produce a set of talking digital calipers that turn a distance measurement into an audible readout. The video includes a clip where Terry explains his passion for engineering and shows how he uses the talking calipers in his job and classes, so be sure to take a look. Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:43:36 +0100 http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=955 On Monday, December 5th Atmel announced the 2012 Atmel Technology Live Developer Conference, taking place in San Jose, California on September 11–13, 2012.
