    Atmel AVR vs PIC

    Hello, I am in no way saying anything wrong with PIC's both MCU's are amazing and both play their part in the MCU market. There is NO such thing as a perfect anything. Nothing is perfect guys and 'gals. My opinions are just truly based on the fact of getting up and running with avr's and...

    Atmel AVR vs PIC

    I hate to say this but I was on this forum over a year ago looking to get into PIC's. But there was not a centralized location for information for bigginers. Don't get me wrong but this place I'm sure is great for trouble shooting with PICs. I got into AVR's early in the summer and have been...

    Terabyte drives $94.00us

    Have you ever been to Vietnam? There is not one a single original film or CD there. EVERYTHING is pirated. America's pirating problem is nothing compared to the rest of the world. Now I am not saying pirating is the Bee's Knee's or the Ducks Guts. Its a fact of life. There is no way around it...

    Terabyte drives $94.00us

    No, no I don't mean that. I am a HUGE supporter of the music and movie industry. I went to a concert last week and spent 20 bucks for a ticket, 2 T shirts and a Bag (totaling over 70 bucks and you know what? it was totally worth it). A very very large chunk of that is going straight to the band...

    YES! Thank you! (regarding the forum)

    I'm doing it in C. But it should be a lot of fun. Can't wait to bring it to school and show my tech teacher. Digital Electronics class is sooo boring. I did all of the stuff in the class like 3 years ago in middle school for fun. Hey, sceadwian You live kinda close to me.

    YES! Thank you! (regarding the forum)

    I don't find that a hassle at all. I had to solder pins on my AVR butterfly and my LCD's and my 4 x 4 push button matrix's. I just got the button matrixes today. I'm working on a calculator! I'm so excited

    What is the best proggramer for AVR Atmel?

    I second the STK500 but it is a little complicated but it does come with a few micros with it. Another problem is it uses the serial port for programming. And most modern OS's and computers don't have them or don't handle them very well. MKii is perfect for the bigginer but if you are willing to...

    YES! Thank you! (regarding the forum)

    Yeah. I was soooo close to getting a pickit2 and the hole shebang. But I got distracted with swimming and biking. Then I stumbled on some info on avr's and read....and read....and read. and finally got a AVRISP MKII and a whole bunch of micros. As of last night I have a working lcd display! Now...
