While we should be designing new widgets, we decided to write a bit. There are 10 new exhaustive lectures on the tutorials page covering the very basics of Embedded Electronics:
-
Lecture 1 - What's a microcontroller? Breadboard power supply
-
Lecture 2 - Loading code and compiler basics
-
Lecture 3 - Oscillators and fuse bits
-
Lecture 4 - UART and serial communication
-
Lecture 5 - AVR GCC and printf compiling
-
Lecture 6 - Soldering basics
-
Lecture 7 - SMD soldering (not yet finished)
-
Lecture 8 - Eagle: Schematics
-
Lecture 9 - Eagle: PCB layout
-
Lecture 10 - Eagle: Creating a new part
We hope you find these slightly entertaining and informative.
The SparkFun Eagle Library has been updated as well! We've updated and added a few new components:
