Atmel AVR & AT89S51/52

This practical course for Atmel microcontrollers is developed with the intention to make everything available in one product. This kit is a combination of Experimenter Board hardware, In-System Programmer and AVR Tutorial course software with graphics and audio. The tutorials cover the Embedded C programming for AVR microcontrollers and Assembler Programming for 8051 microcontrollers. The tutorials also teach you interface techniques for 89S52 and AVR microcontrollers - sample source code for interfacing to the various on-board peripherals is included. Note: The picture on the right shows the kit with a serial RS232 cable, but such a cable is not included. To connect this board to your PC and program the microcontroller you need a 9-pin SUB-D male to female, straight through serial cable. If you do not have such a cable you can order one as an add-on option at the bottom of this page. Note: This kit ships with a 40-pin AT89S52 microcontroller included; it does not include any AVR microcontrollers. If you want to use this kit to learn AVR programming, you can order an optional ATmega16 microcontroller from the add-on option section at the bottom of this page. The practical course for Atmel microcontrollers comes with a CD-ROM containing development software and audio-visual tutorial software that explains the concepts of developing software in Embedded C for AVR microcontrollers. An 89S52 Assembler tutorial document covers code development for 8051 microcontrollers. The board supports Atmel AVR and AT89S51, AT89S52 (8051 family) microcontrollers. All necessary development software is included. An integrated, serial port In-System Programmer allows you to download code directly from your PC to the board. You can connect any of the on-board peripherals, like LCD, 7-Segment LED, sensors or switches to any desired port of the microcontroller via the included cable set.
