This book is great for hobbyists who are familiar with Arduino but want to take their project to the next level. It offers step-by-step instructions on how to program AVR microcontrollers directly, providing access to the chip's full range of power and speed. The book also includes schematics, code and illustrations of a range of projects that can be built using AVR chips, such as an AM radio, a temperature logger and more. By the end, readers will have a better understanding of what's happening behind the scenes and be able to interface with USB, I2C and SPI peripheral devices.

Atmel's AVR microcontrollers are the chips that power Arduino, and are the go-to chip for many hobbyist and hardware hacking projects. In this book you'll set aside the layers of abstraction provided by the Arduino environment and learn how to program AVR microcontrollers directly. In doing so, you'll get closer to the chip and you'll be able to squeeze more power and features out of it. Each chapter of this book is centered around projects that incorporate that particular microcontroller topic. Each project includes schematics, code, and illustrations of a working project.Program a range of AVR chipsExtend and re-use other people’s code and circuitsInterface with USB, I2C, and SPI peripheral devicesLearn to access the full range of power and speed of the microcontrollerBuild projects including Cylon Eyes, a Square-Wave Organ, an AM Radio, a Passive Light-Sensor Alarm, Temperature Logger, and moreUnderstand what's happening behind the scenes even when using the Arduino IDE
