Smiley's Workshop Part 1: Introducing the AVR C Programming Workshop Series

Starting with the August issue, Nuts&Volts magazine has a new series: Smiley's Workshop for AVR Microcontroller C Programming, hardware, and projects.

The first is Part 1: Introducing the AVR Programming Workshop Series and is a lot like the first several chapters of a certain book you might have heard about. In this part you build an educational projects platform that uses the AVR Butterfly, my Developer Terminal, AVRStudio, and WinAVR. Next month we will create some Cylon Eyes.

Anywho, Nuts&Volts has been PIC-city up till now and with this series the AVR will make a serious intrusion. That is, if folks like the article and tell the people at Nuts&Volts that they like the series and the AVR and etc. So if you like it tell them.

Important Mental Health Advisory

The Workshop uses the latest WinAVR. The book does not. So the examples in the workshop will compile with the latest WinAVR, while the book requires the older version you can get in my downloads section. If you want to use the book examples with the new WinAVR YOU MUST ADD #include \ at the top of each C module. I expect this to drive a few people crazy and for that I apologize.

AND if you want to really make yourself crazy then do not use the default directories when setting up WinAVR and AVRStudio. The only way AVRStudio can find the WinAVR stuff is if both install using the default paths. If you decide that you want them to install elsewhere, then be prepared to know how to reset the paths involved and if you ask me how to do that, I'll refer you to this paragraph.

AND AND For my mental health, please direct all technical questions to the forum on AVR Freaks. I check it as often as I check my emails and there are plenty of folks there who can probably answer your question before I get to it. Also, if you do email me and it is not Smiley Micros specific, I may ask you to post on AVRFreaks anyway since other folks will have the same question and so I can point them to the answer already given.
