AVRSH: A Command Interpreter Shell for Arduino/AVR.

Step 6Summary

You should know how to install and connect to your AVR/Arduino and get a live prompt on your running microcontroller. You know several commands that will pull runtime data from the MCU or set values into the MCU on the fly. You have also been shown how to add your own custom code to create your own unique commands to the shell to further customize it for your own needs. You can even gut the command interpreter to have it only contain your custom commands, if that suits your needs.

I hope you've enjoyed this instructable and that the AVR Shell can be useful for you, either as a real-time command interpreter or as a learning process in implementing your own.

As always, I look forward to any comments or suggestions on how this instructable can be improved!

Have fun with your AVR!

This is truly amazing. But one question comes to mind. How'd I go about sending the resulting HEX file to the Arduino? Does it use one of the tools that're otherwise popular for the hardware platform?
