Hey fellers I'm new to the avr line of products and was seeking some advice an clarification.
1. The Ardino, is this basically like a picaxe for avr?
2. What is the standard programmer for avr chips? I've been looking around and can't seem to find the PK2 =ivilent.
3. Would you suggest I start with the ardino's or straight old school avr? I'm not planning any projects based on them but I would like to play with some just to extend my understanding of uC's. I'm really looking for the most compatible for the industry that would help me move on to other chips like ARM's, MSP430's, etc....
4. Which demo board do you guys recommend? I'm looking mikroe's easyavr6 or possibly a cheapo basic board from feebay.
Thanks for any insight you can give, I have experience in ASM and C - 8, 16, and 32bit PICS.
