Why limit yourself to your small screen on the phone? Run AVR Tutorial, an app by Peter Ho, best experienced on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, the world’s #1 Android emulator.
AVR Tutorial feels like a practical toolbelt for learning AVR on ATMEGA16 without getting buried in datasheets on day one. It lays out the basics first, with a quick AVR architecture review and a handy list of asm mnemonics alongside C language notes, then moves into stuff users can actually try. There are tons of small demo projects, like LEDs, keypad, 16×2 character LCD, ADC, even an 8×8 LED matrix and a 4×4 keypad. The standout part is the code wizard. Set up timers, UART, interrupts, or ADC with a few clicks, choose the external parts like buzzer, seven segment display, real time clock, key switch, and it spits out clean, structured C code. Since the code targets ATMEGA16 and is tidy, porting to other ATMEGA chips is not a headache.
Learning microcontrollers can be rough, mostly because of tiny register mistakes that break everything. This app tries to remove that pain, so users spend more time testing than hunting bitfields. On PC through BlueStacks, the layout is easy to read and flipping between generated code and notes on a bigger display just feels calmer, less squinting.
There is a Pro side that adds support for I2C EEPROMs from 24C01 up to 24C512 and SPI EEPROMs from 25010 up to 25M02, plus extra demos like a 16×16 LED matrix. The wizard also covers I2C EEPROM, SPI EEPROM, and a 128×64 LCM. Optional demos touch OLED 128×64, a small TFT, MPU6050 gyro and accel, 18B20 temperature sensor, DFPlayer MP3, SPI flash, stepper and servo motors, even a simple Bluetooth home automation example. It is a straightforward, hands on way to practice and see things actually work.
