Ghetto Programming: Getting started with AVR microprocessors on the cheap.

Step 11The End & Web Resources

The End & Web Resources
So there you go -- your first AVR application.

I'll post up some more tutorials and code showing off different aspects of the ATtiny2313. At least one for the Analog/Digital converter, some on Timers, and one for using its built-in serial interface.

In the meantime, if you want to learn more about the AVR chips, here's some good web resources:

AVR Freaks is the motherlode: A community of friendly users with a forum.

Cornell's EE476 class webpage is a tremendous source for info, and their final projects are a treasure-trove of crazy, cool project ideas, all well-documented.

Psychogenic.com is good for AVR & Linux.

The AVR-libC demo program is not a bad one to learn from either, but maybe a bit advanced if you're just beginning with microprocessors or C.

Just found Building a USB Sensor Interface which has good instructions, and heads in the direction of USB connectivity.

Dec 2 Update: If you run Linux with KDE and want an integrated GUI environment, have a look at KontrollerLab. It's very similar-looking to AVRs AVR Studio for Windows.

Jan 2, 2007: AVR Tutor has a short getting-started-with-AVR tutorial written in C. AVR Beginners has a very complete tutorial, but it's based on assembly language instead of C, so I'd consider it an advanced tutorial. You might consider looking at them in order.

The photo is of me using the ghetto dev kit to run a 2400 baud wireless transmitter. Takes only a couple minutes to run a few wires to the breadboard, and off you go!

How is it question
How is it that I need an STK200/300 ISP programmer(AVR) (bought and paid for) to program an Atmega32, while this system can use the straight thru connection from PC parallel port to AT2313? Will my STK200/300 ISP programmer work on this system ?
