AVR-Chat

I got an STK500 and it was a great way for me to develop code while my
"real" hardware was being manufactured and I also use it as a programmer for
that hardware.

I've also gotten good use from the BD Micro Mavric board.  It brings all I/O
out to either headers or screw terminals.  You need to add a programmer for
it, but you can get the board and a programmer for under $300.  This might
seem like a lot of money for a student, but these are tools that can make a
huge difference in your education.

Since sample code is so popular, I should add that BD Micro has a lot of it
on their site.

You can start with their light flasher to make sure you've got it all wired
right and know how to program it, then go from there.

If you can get your hands on an STK500, you have a powerful learning tool 
for beginners.  You can program simple tasks like reading pushbuttons and 
lighting LED's and then get them to work right on the board. I'd 
recommend this for someone who doesn't have much experience with 
microcontrollers.

Some of my first projects with it were a little more advanced, but I was 
only new to AVR's, not to microcontrollers in general.
