Hi, everyone.
I've decided to take up the 8-bit AVR microcontroller architecture. I'm thinking of buying an STK600. I want to program a variety of devices, including the smallest 6-pin chips. I want to use C and assembler. I also want to be able to easily produce input/output in software, and to see the output in hardware, whether it be by flashing LEDs or whatever.
1. Will the STK600 allow me to program the smallest, lowest-pin-count chips?
2. Do I need anything else other than the STK600 to meaningfully program the AVR and watch it in operation, and interface it with electronic devices such as motors, LEDs, etc?
3. Will I be able to program the AVR while it is in-circuit? I want to be able to design my own circuits with the AVR in a socket, and program the AVR while it's in-circuit.
