Post by thread:Re[2]: The AVR

Yep, thats for sure, it does look like a mighty promising beast. I have been talking directly with the Atmel rep in Europe about where this device is going .... keep a lookout for devices with more onboard peripherals in the next six months! If they have gone for the complete in system programming solution, I hope to god they have got the in system emulation and debugging sorted out. They could learn from Motorola 56000 DSP's here with what they call the OnCE port (On Chip Emulator), it really is the business when you can do in circuit emulation/debugging. The C compiler (from IAR, so it is ANSI) looks very good indeed, if any body has got some Hitec code they good run on the demo of the IAR compiler this would be interesting! regards, Scott. +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Scott Walsh Tel: +44 1793 84 22 18 | | Design Engineer Fax: +44 1793 84 88 53 | | Tlx: 44626 PLANAC G | | Plantronics International | | Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire, | | SN4 8QQ, England.

Robert, I agree. I just got a bunch of AT90S1200s -- $3 each. The instruction set and architecture is -extremely- nice. I'm putting off one project that I was going to do in a C65 until the bigger AVR chips arrive. I can see myself getting into AVR in a big way. And basically out of PICs. Certainly worth a look. -jeff
