AVR (Alf and Vegard's RISC Processor)

AVR (Alf and Vegard's RISC Processor) is a type of microcontroller designed for efficient and reliable computing in embedded systems. It uses a Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) architecture, meaning it has a simplified set of instructions that allow for faster processing and easier programming. AVR microcontrollers are commonly used in hobby projects, consumer electronics, and automotive systems because they are small, low-power, and versatile. They operate by executing instructions directly from memory, enabling precise control of hardware components like sensors, motors, and displays.
