Product Description

Product Description

This reader-friendly guide shows you how to take charge of the newest, most versatile microcontrollers around, Atmel's AVR RISC chip family. Inside, Electronics World writer and astronomy instrumentation developer Dhananjay V. Gadre walks you from first meeting these exciting new computers-on-a-chip all the way through design and ready-to-launch products.


Book Description

Since their inception in the early 1980's, Microcontrollers have played an ever-increasing role in modern electronics. By integrating required peripherals on a single low-power-consuming chip, many Microcontrollers are available today in consumer items such as smart cards and inexpensive toys. Amtel's AVR microcontroller in one of the new kids on the block. Introduced last year to compete with Microchip's wildly successful PIC chips, AMTEL's AVR introduces a new design and architecture that give it one of the most versatile processors of any microcontroller on the market. In similar fashion to the PIC, Stamp, 8051, and 68000 books before it, this book will provide readers with a complete introduction to the 8-bit AVR family of chips.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book with 10 complete projects, 17 May 2001
By A Customer
Starts with a briefly outline of the history of microcontrollers. Then describes the AVR processor family in detail. A well written chapter. Getting into programming the AVR's and looking at some hardware concepts like connecting to RS232, RS422/423, RS485, SPI, Microwire, I2c, Parallel port, ISA-bus, IrDA link and CAN. What I like the most are the 10 projects. A well written book with a lot of information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent All round coverage, 30 Mar 2001
By A Customer
I recently purchased Mr Gadre's AVR book. I believe that it is a well organised book with lots of material for the beginner as well as an experienced embedded designer.

The book starts off with basics about embedded systems, a review of microprocessor architecture before moving onto the AVR details.

It has an excellent chapter on communication protocols and links, and how these could be used with the AVR controller, reading which, I learnt a lot.

Later chapters cover fabrication and code development issues. The best part is the 10 or so working projects, which demonstrate the true power of AVR controllers.

In all, this is a highly recommended book for anyone wanting to learn about microcontrolelrs in general and AVR in particular and I am satistifed that I purchased it.

2.0 out of 5 stars A book that promised much but delivered little, 27 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This is a book that was written with little idea of what it was trying to achieve. There is insufficient theoretical content to call it an academic book; there is too little practical advice to make it a beginner's book, and coding is not handled in sufficient detail to make it a programmer's manual. The coding aspect is perhaps the most serious: only a few code listings are shown in the book, with the reader having to print examples from the CD-ROM as required. Only one or two listings are discussed in detail, with no descriptions of good programming techniques. The assembler commands are only briefly described, and even that is poorly done. All in all, there is insufficient good information to justify the expense: I shall be looking around for a better book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing here you won't find explained a lot better online
This book is total rubbish in my opinion. If you've read the Atmel pdf datasheets, you've basically read the bulk of this book. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty decent Introduction
The material is pretty well aimed at the reasonably aware engineer/hobbyist, I.E. Intermediate level. Let me start with the bad and then move to the good.
