Microcontroller Related Links

Below are some of my 'go-to' sites for information about microcontrollers and related topics.

Arduino

  •  History and plenty of information on Arduino
  •  Ground zero for all things Arduino
  •  Lots of helpful tutorials, kits, and components
  •  Ditto
  •  "Open hardware facilitator". Often have very good prices on microcontrollers, sensors, and other things useful for mechtronics
  •  "Computing Stuff tied to the Physical World"
  •  Fantastic guide from zero through fairly sophisticated projects
  •  Very detailed and extensive tutorials on Arduino and interfacing it to all sorts of things
  •  Great examples showing the use of Arduino for measurements, audio, and photography applications
  • Tinkerish.com Wiki also Tinkerish.com Wiki Libarduino Libraries that allow developers to use the standard GNU toolchain to program Arduino hardware

Others

  • Intro to Physical Computing Tom Igoe’s awesome class on mechatronics
  •  Has some very clearly documented examples relating to robotics and software
  •  Joe Pardue’s site that focuses on Atmel Butterfly and Arduino. His blog is good.
  •  Rob Faludi’s site for the book of the same name, which uses the Arduino. Also has a helpful blog and links to many helpful resources
  •  The forum for AVR information
  •  An online teaching laboratory for Microcontrollers and Embedded Systems
