Hi everyone,

I have been working with PICAXE chips/software for about 6 months 
now and love them - however, they are limitted in performance.  I am 
also learning electronics at the same time as I am learning about 
these wonderful micros.  I am pretty well versed in VB6 programming 
as well.

To get started with the Atmels, I am using BASCOM and the Atmel 
AtSTK500 board.  I also just purchased a variety of chips: Atmega48, 
Atmega168, Atmega32, Atmega16, and one also came with the ATSTK500 
board.

I have a couple of projects in mind already, and as I always do, I 
jump in head first and learn how to swim while drowning :-)

So, if anyone is familiar with the setup I have going here, I may 
need to bend your ear a bit till I get up and running.  I am hoping 
it will go as smooth as my experience with the PICAXE, but you never 
know with these sorts of things.

Anyway, hello and I sure would appreciate any and all help.

Thanks

Chris
