Announcements

STK500 Expansion Board LCD Version Back In Stock

After several months during which, for no good reason, the LCD version of the STK500 Expansion Board was out of stock, it is now available again.  The old price will be held at least until the end of June 2011 for those that have been waiting patiently.  Details ...

Possible New Production Run of Prius Mini-Scanner

A Prius enthusiast, Don Wagler, has suggested that 50 eager buyers of the Prius Mini-Scanner can be found who will put down a deposit of $100 to fund a new production run.  If Don succeeds in rounding up 50 deposits by July 15, 2011, then Prius Mini-Scanners will be available again until the new run is exhausted.  More information ...

Advanced Notice of Price Increases

For the first time ever, ECROS Technology will be increasing the prices of some products to reflect increases in parts costs.  Although pure electronic component prices remain stable, the higher cost of metals is affecting the prices of parts such as connectors, switches, etc.  The products that have been hardest hit are those containing 0.1 inch headers.  Less expensive headers than those used by ECROS Technology are available.  However, evaluations have shown that the material that secures the header pins is less sturdy and can soften during soldering.  It has been decided to increase prices rather than substitute lower quality headers.  In some parts kits, component changes have allowed the price increase to be reduced or avoided.

Most Popular Products

Dragon Rider 500

The Atmel AVR Dragon is a low-cost programmer for the entire line of AVR microcontrollers and provides on-chip debugging for those with 32 kbytes or less of program memory.  However, it has no space for a target system and so falls short of the function of the venerable STK500.

Enter the Dragon Rider!  The ECROS Technology Dragon Rider fits over the AVR Dragon and provides target sockets for 40-, 28-, 20- and 8-pin microcontrollers, standard Atmel 10-pin port headers, add-on LEDs, switches, an LCD, serial interface and an external power supply.  Programming connections are made with header shunts, not jumper wires, and the board is quickly reconfigurable for different target types.

Atmel AVR Butterfly Carrier

Done all you can with your AVR Butterfly?  Give it a new lease of life by mounting it on the Butterfly Carrier and making it into a complete MCU development system!

AVR ICE-Cube Debug Interface

Small size / low weight JTAG ICE substitute for many of Atmel's ATmega MCUs with JTAG interfaces.  Fully compatible with AVR Studio.  Target powered, 3 V to 5.5V operation.

STK500 Expansion Board

Build your own projects on the Atmel STK500 using the expansion connectors and this inexpensive board.  Eight square inches of prototyping space with true plated-though holes and an on-chip JTAG debug header.

Configurable Mini-Power Supply

Printed Circuit Board and Parts Kits to make fixed and adjustable voltage power supplies for your projects.  Use stand-alone, or mount on your project board.

The Mini-PSU's Big Brother - the Flexi-PSU

Just like the Mini-PSU, the Flexi-PSU printed circuit board allows you to build a power supply around the regulator of your choice.  However, it is a little larger and uses a vertical, finned heatsink for considerably greater heat dissipation.
Disappointingly Unpopular Products

The Traffic Lights Project

This embedded systems project with real-world goals allows you to start small but build up to a simulation of a real traffic intersection with pedestrians, emergency vehicles, night mode and more.
