It's not in any debugger... I found out what was going on by writing values to eeprom then reading it back using AVRISP. I fixed the second problem, it turned out to be a problem with the oscillator - it was not set to "full swing" and an LED power supply near the processor was c

Good day, Hooking up a GSM/GPS to the AVR is simple. I assume all the hardware is done and works? Is this your own board design? What have you tried to do so far? If you Google a bit you can find sample code for serial comms. Without knowing what hardware you have or what your pr
