AVR-Chat

So you are and electronics student . . .

That being the case, not knowing how much or what area of electronics you
may get into, that being the case this may not apply to you but you will
probably be using a programming language on and off during your career. Here
goes . . .

You mentioned you know a little about C. If you take up C over BASCOM I
recommend you start with the demo version of CodeVisionAVR. It has several
wizards that are really great and has hand-held many C programmers,
especially the newbies but the seasoned also. Later on you can move to GNU
GCC, called WinAVR (pronounced whenever). Assuming you are using Windows. It
is open source, free and very good. Its short comings that it is not for the
newbies. GCC has the big learning curve of setting it up, learning how to
use it plus getting your first HELLO program into your micro and work
properly.

I would stay away from ardunino and zbasic.
