That's why before moving on to discussing particular peripherals of XMEGA microcontrollers, we will learn how to operate 16x2 LCD text display with HD44780 driver.
This paragraph’s aim is to acquaint the reader with basic knowledge on how to control the display, although we are not going to Dominik Leon Bieczyńskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05328076135961243900noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5351211845642367599.post-24762046629944087282014-05-08T19:16:00.003+02:002014-05-08T19:19:33.495+02:00X3-DIL64 available at KAMAMIX3-DIL64 prototyping module is now available at KAMAMI.

In well known and appreciated processors: ATtiny & ATmega each port used to have three registers: PIN, PORT and DDR. However in XMEGA microcontrollers there are 21 registers for each port... but don't worry! Using the XMEGA ports is even easier than in ATmega!
All ports have unique name: PORTADominik Leon Bieczyńskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05328076135961243900noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5351211845642367599.post-63671909015073689032014-04-21T21:53:00.001+02:002014-05-08T19:20:01.551+02:00XMEGA tutorial: new methods of registers configuration (03)
Ports are the simplest peripheral system of each and every microcontroller. Even though
in XMEGA we have 21 registers for each port! The total number of configuration registers can reach
a few hundred or even more than a thousand! In this article I will show you how to get over it without going crazy.

Atmel’s AVR microcontrollers captured the imagination of thousands engineers around the globe. So far, the producer offered us two families: ATtiny and ATmega, which differ in pricing and possibilities, but the programming methodology for both is identical. Introducing the XMEGA, Atmel has done significant changes in the processors peripherals and, furthermore, changed the methods of software Dominik Leon Bieczyńskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05328076135961243900noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5351211845642367599.post-39604940818790954972014-01-18T13:35:00.001+01:002014-05-08T19:21:26.567+02:00Discover XMEGA<!-- -->

These artifacts do not belong to my collection, because I would have to spend almost $10,000 for them - the seller on e-bay wishes to $1,000 for each unit! Although it must be admitted that they are amazing integrated circuits. In general, manufacturers destroy all the prototypes when no longer needed.

Watching these ancient integrated circuits you can realize how fastly the world is changing. Most of them come from 1970s or 1980s. It's not too long period of time, just 30 years! But they are completely different than ICs used nowadays.

Here's another gallery of decapsulated IC chips. They are very old and they were made in 1790s or 1980s. Because of CERDIP package it was very easy to open them. CERDIP is a package made of two ceramic plated joined together with a glue. You just need to cleave them carefully with a knife.
