Read full descriptionHide full description
This app is a AVR tutorial based on ATMEGA16 C language. It is suitable for hobbyist or engineering students. Learning AVR mcu is difficult. The learning curve is steep. The process including reading datasheet, writing code, building prototypes and troubleshooting. The most possible errors are the setting wrong value of registers. Now, AVR tutorial Pro is the solution. The code wizard allow you to set the timer, UART, ADC, interrupt and peripherals by just a few clicks in setting. The proven C source code is generated automatically. Though the code wizard is based on ATMEGA16 mcu, it is easy to port to other ATMEGA mcu since the source code is highly structured Features • AVR architecture review • AVR asm mnemonics & C language • 21 demo projects including LED, buzzer, key switch, lcm16x2, ADC, etc • Code wizard for UART, timer, interrupt, ADC and external peripherals Features in PRO only • Support I2C eeprom 24C01 (128B) ~ 24C512 (64kB) • Support SPI eeprom 25010 (128B) ~ 25M02 (256kB) • Extra demo projects including led matrix 16x16, I2C eeprom, SPI eeprom • Code wizard for I2C eeprom, SPI eeprom, LCM128x64, etc Atmel® and AVR® are registered trademarks or trademarks of Atmel Corporation or its subsidiaries, in the US and/or other countries.

EMWaver is a local-first electronics lab for iPhone and iPad. Connect a supported ESP32-S3 or STM32-based board, run JavaScript scripts, inspect device signals, manage bundled firmware, and use optional Agent assistance with your own API key. Local hardware control does not require an EMWaver account, cloud activation, hosted relay, subscription, or device ownership check. Scripts and core device workflows stay on your device by default. Use EMWaver to: • Run local scripts against supported microcontroller boards • Inspect device state and hardware signals from a mobile-first interface • Manage app-bundled firmware workflows for supported targets • Keep script-first hardware experiments out of the compile/flash/debug loop • Ask the optional Agent for script and troubleshooting help when you provide an API key EMWaver is open-source and built by Continual MI.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: EMWaver at Free against AVR Tutorial Pro's $1.99. EMWaver also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10). AVR Tutorial Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 12 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
