ATmega328P Essentials: Getting Started Without Arduino I’ve been using the Arduino Uno board for quite some time, including as examples for many of my articles. I’ve always wondered what it would take to get the ATmega328P (the original chip used on the older Uno boards) working completely on its own. With the Arduino making it so accessible via its bootloader, nice GUI software, and C++ abstraction, you’d wonder why on earth I would want to even attempt this. Sometimes, in order to appreciate what Read Article Getting Started With DevOps for Embedded Systems Using the ATmega328P DevOps and Agile methodologies have transformed software development by emphasizing collaboration, automation, and continuous improvement. Applying DevOps principles to my designs and projects has been a game-changer, enhancing efficiency and reliability.
