Title: AVR programming
Post by: spykid99 on August 18, 2009, 05:31:21 AM

Hi, i have some questions about the AVR microcontroller range

1. AVR code looks like mumbojumbo ( i can code basic/vb reasonably) so;

2. Is their an alternative to the standard AVR programming language??? (e.g. C)

Any help appreciated

The AVR code is in C  ???

The Arduino environment is still C but much easier to understand (using actual words instead of crazy symbols), but with Arduino you have a limited choice of microcontrollers.

you can use CodeVision AVR to code all AVR microcontrollers in C .

its a Great compiler with rich C Libraries which make programming easier.

specially it has a wizard to initialize peripherals (you dont have to worry about values ,just answer the wizard questions and it will write appropriate code)
