One of the challenges that aspiring jazz musicians face when practicing is the sheer amount of potential material to choose from. There never is a shortage of things to learn and review.

Unfortunately, as a result of the overabundance of jazz practice resources, many students practice very inefficiently. They jump from topic to topic in a very unfocused way. The goal of this article is to “trim the fat,” so to speak, and help you organize a good and consistent personal practice routine. We’ll discuss the six steps of a good jazz practice routine. Warm Up (5% of Your Practice Practice Routine) Before you begin to practice, it’s always a good idea to warm up your muscles and joints. Playing an instrument requires strength, flexibility, and endurance. Technical Exercises (10 to 15% of Your Practice Time)

With examples such as I2C, LIN, SPI, TWI, USI, etc., it can get pretty confusing. If you don’t believe me, just take a look communications column for Digikey’s listing for the ATmega series chips. Confused yet? What do these terms mean? How do you choose the chip that meets your needs? Communication Protocols The SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) is the protocol used by the ICSP (in-circuit serial programming) facility transmitted over the ubiquitous 6-pin (2×3 pin) header used to program AVR chips.

The Serial Peripheral Interface Bus or SPI (pronounced as either ess-pee-eye, spy or simply S.P.I) bus is a synchronous serial data link standard, named by Motorola, that operates in full duplex mode. This protocol is known as both I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) and as TWI (two wire interface). And many more. Two Wire.

I2C, it's a standard that's been around for around 20 years and has found uses in nearly every corner of the electronics universe.

It's an incredibly useful technology for us microcontroller hobbyists but can seem daunting for new users. This tutorial will solve that problem, first by reviewing what I2C is and how it works, then by going in-depth on how to implement I2C in Atmel's ATTiny USI (Universal Serial Interface) hardware. I2C is commonly used in GPIO expanders, EEPROM/Flash memory chips, temperature sensors, real-time clocks, LED drivers, and tons of other components. If you spend much time looking for new, cool parts you'll probably wind up with several I2C parts. Fortunately it is a protocol that is available on most microcontrollers, though it is a bit more complex than others.

I2C Tools of Interest: Before you dig too deep into I2C communications, you'll want to have some things on hand that will make your learning experience easier.
