Where to use ATMEGA16
ATMEGA16 microcontroller is one of the popular controllers in AVR series. With its features and purchase cost it became one of favorite controller for both hobbyists and engineers. ATMEGA16 programming is similar to any other AVR controller. It is particularly a clone to ATMEGA32 except for the memory. Although it has only half the memory of ATMEGA32, it is still more than enough to satisfy most EMBEDDED SYSTEMS.
ATMEGA16 has also sleep modes. The modes can be triggered at desired times to save power. With various sleep modes on board ATMEGA16 can work on MOBILE EMBEDDED SYSTEMS.
ATMEGA16 has 32 programmable Input/output pins, with them ATMEGA16 can interface many peripherals easily.
ATMEGA16 has also programmable Watchdog Timer with Separate On-chip Oscillator. With this Watchdog timer to reset under error the controller can be used on applications where human interference in minimal.
How to Use ATMEGA16 Microcontroller
As mentioned earlier ATMEGA16 is similar to any other microcontroller and in particular ATMEGA32. It basically can perform any function that is performed by ATMEGA32. Similar to them it is not Plug and Play digital ICs. For working of ATMEGA16, first we need to save the program HEX code in ATMEGA16 FLASH MEMORY. After executing this code ATMEGA16 creates the desired response.
Entire process of using an ATMEGA16 goes like this:
- List the functions to be executed by ATMEGA16 in a paper.
- Next download program developing application (called IDE) for AVR controllers
(Usually Atmel Studio 6.2 for Windows7,
Atmel Studio 7 for Windows10 [ http://www.microchip.com/avr-support/avr-and-sam-downloads-archive ])
- Write the functions in ‘C’ language in IDE.
- After writing the program compile it in IDE. This eliminates errors.
- Make IDE application to generate HEX file for the written program after compiling.
- Choose the programming device (usually SPI programmer made for AVR controllers) which establishes communication between your Personal Computer and ATMEGA16.
- Run the HEX file burning software which is given for the chosen programming device.
- Choose the appropriate program HEX file in the programmer software.
- Burn the HEX file (Which contains program in the form of HEX code) in ATMEGA16 flash memory using this program.
Disconnect the programmer, connect the appropriate peripherals for the controller and power the system. With this ATMEGA16 executes the program and provides the response written in the saved program.
Applications
There are many of applications for ATMEGA16 microcontrollers.
- Hobbyists applications
- Engineers design
- Temperature control systems
- Analog signal measuring and manipulations.
- Embedded systems like coffee machine, vending machine.
- Motor control systems.
- Digital signal processing.
- Peripheral Interface system.
