Some handy commands to analyze how much and where the RAM has gone on Atmega/Arduino: First, enable compiler verbose messages in the Arduino IDE, as you need need to see where the built binaries are stored (on my system, /tmp/build*** directory is used)
These are some handy Linux terminal commands that give a filtered LogCat log. The given keywords are highlighted in the terminal The following command only shows prints from a given tag:
This is my latest contraption. I made an AC power supply that can be controlled by the Yats test automatization software or any other tool that can send commands via a serial port. It provides 4 mains sockets that are controlled either through RS232 or manually using buttons. There is one isolated 220V and one… Read More »

I found an almost complete solution in stackoverflow. Here is a quick reminder on how to set up the Visual Studio project.
I have spent a few hours investigating where all the RAM has gone in my new Arduino project. I need to investigate newer versions (still running 1.0), I really hope there are improvements. My favorite WTFs: string constants are stored in RAM string constants can be stored in Flash. For that you need to wrap… Read More »
