Simple and easy?
Start in assembly.
Want a taste of
it?
6 lines of code and you
have 8 leds blinking as a binary counter.
Just connect the 8 leds to
all port B pins via 330-500 ohms resistors.
out ddrb,255 ; set portb output
a1:
out portb,r16 ; move R16 to PortB
inc
r16 ;
increment R16
a2:
adiw
r30,1 ; add 1 to 16 bits
counter
brne a2 ; keep couting until 65536
rjmp
a1 ;
go back, increment leds
Here you see the machine
working, you understand what is happening.
Try to taste the same peach
taste in C+.
Plenty of assembly
information around.
Download the FREE AVRStudio4
from Atmel.
Invest less than $70 in a
STK500 Atmel development platform.
You will thank me in the
future.
