We love looking at hardcore electronics projects with a beef microcontroller and

hundreds, if not thousands, of lines of code at its center. But everone needs to get
there somehow.
This tutorial series aims to make ou comfortable programming the Atmel AVR line of
microcontrollers. Whether ouve never touched a microcontroller before, or ouve cut
our teeth with dozens of Arduino projects, this will help ou get right down to the
hardware and give ou the confidence to build anthing.

I like this AVR tutorial idea. Will it cover Makefiles? Keeping track of all the
command-line incantations can get confusing, and finding/writing a good Makefile can
be trick. (Ive been using the one that comes with V-UB as a base for a while.)

For all ou people bashing Arduino, es, ou can do some ver cool stuff with just
straight AVR C. But at the same time, its just so much easier to develop things with
Arduino that theres no sense in abandoning one for the other. Its like saing that
writing in C is better than BAH scripting. There is a time and a place for each. I sa
keep both in our toolbox and use them when appropriate. For the most part, the
savings in time ou get when using Processing + Arduino makes it worthwhile to have
those tools available.

Ethernet is prett eas, but I suspect what ou want is a tutorial on implementing an IP

stack on one or more embedded sstems, and then figuring out how to communicate
with it from within a program on our PC.
Man versions of popular microcontrollers now come with ethernet interfaces,

requiring a module, and source for a complete ethernet stack with limited IP
functionalit.
Ethernet isnt that big of a conceptual leap from asnchronous serial theres another
laer or two of housekeeping, but thats all. Youll need to understand buffering, but
everthing else is done for ou.
If ou want to control them through software, ou locate an IP stack or IP librar for

whatever language ou want to use.
In the end, oure still just sending text and data back and forth like before its just
that ou have to specif a few more parameters needed b the IP protocol.
Running TCPIP does chew up resources on a microcontroller, so it was common to

throw a pre-programmed ethernet coprocessor on it and just bit/bte bang as ou
would with a UART.
However, built-in interfaces roughl equivalent to a uart started showing up a decade

ago. For example, this old-timer is still around:

As ou gus keep moving up the rungs of design complexit, it gets prett common to
simpl design a full linux sstem into whatever oure building. Once ou can run gcc
on it, ou can run anthing!

I have to admit, as far as the prerequisites go, I do not understand how a breadboard
works but I will find out before lesson 2 arrives. In Jr. College I took a basic electronics
cours but when it came time to reading resistor rings I lost interest because I am color
blind. The instructor suggested I drop the class and I did. That was 26 ears ago and I
am convinced that todas electronics has a lot to learn without having to be able to
distinquish colors. Besides, all I need to do is ask a friend he, what color is this.

there is nothing wrong with using an arduino in some situations. I agree with most
arduino bashers when ou rage over leaving a full board or a basicstamp with a
breadboard in a project. But I have no problem basing a project on an arduino,
especiall if i embed the chip on a custom board.
Ive programmed Freescale HC12s in assembl for a class and I used ATtin 85s in
AVR tudio C for m senior project. I never used an Atmega, but i would sa based on
the ATtins that the would be extremel powerful if ou knew how to control
everting.
The problem is interfacing with things like LCDs or extracting the exact serial
staments ou want from an GP NMEA output. If our code needs to be extreml fast
and efficient then go with AVR studio or even assembl. If our just building simple
things for fun then i sa go with arduino. Im working on a GP sstem to hunt for
Geocaches. Im going to build a custom board that will interface the
Atmega328/GP/LCD. The arduino alread has prebuilt libraries for lcd and gps and
makes it funner to build things like this. I I got most of the coding done in a couple
hours while watching tv.
btw its worth mentioning for part 2 that the AVRIP mkii programmers dont work with
Windows 7(not easil) the drivers dont work. There is a work around but it took me
several hours,lots of searching and man man installs/uninstalls of AVRGCC and
