AVR-Chat

It may be lower case but I had a calculus instructor in college who 
could flick the rubber tip of her pointer right between one's eyes for 
not capitalizing his name.  Old habits die hard, even after almost 30 years.

Projects are combined commercial and personal.  I've been working with 
the AVR for about 5 years after migrating up from the 80x31/32 series.  
Applications are test/measurement/control in nature and have used the 
S1200/S2313.  When I/O need is greater, the 8515/8535.  Have a piddle 
project designed around the 4433 that I'm going to have to convert to a 
MEGA8.  Working with the TINY26s and MEGA16s on a couple of current 
projects.

A customer specified use of a PIC 18F series earlier this year (I'm 
still trying to scrub the scuz off ;-) ), and my thinking is that if 
this happens again it would just be easier to use a relatively more 
common language instead of learning another assembler.  I'm also being 
threatened with several applications in the near future that will 
require serious math that I'm not looking forward to writing in 
assembler, one of which will require linearizing a pressure sensor.

I've been on this list since back in the days when Dave hosted it on his 
site, or was that after it was an e-groups list, but mostly just lurk.
