Today I stumbled upon some vintage Dave Jones which made me happy: EEVblog #63 – Microchip PIC vs Atmel AVR. :)

Make: AVR Programming
I am reading Make: AVR Programming: Learning to Write Software for Hardware and I found this excellent video: Programming AVR Microcontrollers in C – O’Reilly Webcast available from here: Beyond the Arduino: Programming AVR Microcontrollers in C.
The author’s github page is still operational: https://github.com/hexagon5un/AVR-Programming
Their website littlehacks.org is offline but still available via archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/20160307235812/http://littlehacks.org/
Also there’s this really cool collection of projects over here: Cornell University ECE 4760 Designing with Microcontrollers Final Projects.

In this video I create some cables so I can attach my circuits to my roof aerial. I also announce the old book and new book for the upcoming teardowns which will be released in the next few days.
While doing this video I learned over on the EEVblog Electronics Community Forum that the specific RF cable connectors we are using in this project are Belling-Lee connectors.
There is going to be a break in Maxitronix 20in1 videos for a few days while I wait for my new Logitech BRIO webcam to arrive. Once that is here recording in the booth will resume.
In this video I mention the Silicon Chip magazine and Beginner’s Guide to Reading Schematics. Also the various new book teardowns I refer to are:
I also refer to MPLAB X IDE and MPLAB PICkit 4 In-Circuit Debugger.
The technology I mention in the beginning of the video is this:
- TZT ATTINY85-20PU DIP-8 ATTINY85 DIP8 85-20PU ATTINY85-20 DIP new and original
- Tiny AVR Programmer (see: Tiny AVR Programmer Hookup Guide)
The new monitor I refer to in the video is this UPERFECT 4K Monitor 15.6″ Portable Gaming Monitor UHD PC Screen USB C Monitor.
The cables I use in this project are these:
- Right Angle TV Antenna Cable Flylead Cord Aerial Coax Male PAL Lead 1m 3m 5m 10m
- 10pcs/Lot 28mm/35mm/45mm Alligator Clips Electrical DIY Test Leads Alligator Double-ended Crocodile Clips Roach Clip Jumper Wire
