AVR-Chat

The thing that got me into the AVR was the cost of development. At the time
I was working for a company and we bought the ICEPIC2 in circuit emulator
but it was expensive and required special daughter boards for each different
device you wanted to use.

 

I then found out about the AVR and the ICE 200 emulator and at the time this
was really cheap compared to the PIC stuff I had been using. I later
upgraded to the JTAG ICE and then the JTAG ICE II. In my early days I would
do all the debugging by guess work but once I had use an emulator I never
went back. I won't choose a device now without it having some form of in
circuit emulation. I see the later PIC devices have onboard ICE now but for
me the AVR is a better choice since I already spent my money on hardware and
software for it. I have even kept Codevision AVR on maintenance since the
first time I used it many moons ago.
