Introduction

Overview:

This manual is designed to help embedded programmers and students, rapidly exploit the Avr(Atmega)-Controller for embedded applications. This manual has been targeted at embedded systems programmers and Students who have basic knowledge of Avr(Atmega32/Avr) architecture and C-Language.

This manual provides the reference to all the library functions which are grouped under respective.c file. The .c files convention is as per the peripherals. The peripherals (lcd, keypad..) are connected to default PORTs which can be connect to required PORTs by changing the #defines .

Reference:

It is recommended to go through the below reference documents and datasheets before interfacing any peripherals.

  1. The Avr Microcontroller and Embedded Systems by Muhammad Ali Mazidi.
  2. Atmega32 DataSheet.
  3. Embedded C by Michael J Pont .
  4. Any of the 16x2 lcd datasheet.
