What I've read is that this is a hostile take over attempt, because Atmel's board previously rejected the offers from the two companies in pursuit (neither of which actually have the assets to consummate the deal, per the reports). Atmel has been struggling, financially, with tur

Hi Zack, Thats some interesting stuff. I also enjoy photography, (digital mainly) yea, i never did like assembly, always liked c, been programming in C since i was 13 or 14, then i gout out of it for a few years, and then i decided to get back into it with the micro controllers.

I don't know if there is a "proper" way to learn. I started working with microcontrollers some years ago. My first was the Z80. Remember the ARRL Microcontroller project? I eventually picked up the 8051 and 8085 for projects. All my programs were written in the respective assembl

There are actually a few applications where I use a PIC instead of an AVR (the 10F200 is nice). IF Atmel gets bought out, it would be stupid for them to discontinue AVR's though. When a product is selling, you don't stop making it. Hopefully the only thing that might come out of

Interesting, I sent a similar message a couple of hours ago, and it didn't go thru. (and I'm a moderator on here...) Yeah.. Maybe they will fix studio and keep the AVR? One can hope. Hard to imagine them buying it just to kill it.

Is anyone using AVR-GCC on a Linux computer. Better yet on a Ubuntu v. 8.04 operating system? If so how did you get it setup to work. I do have GCC C working. I would like to start using GCC on Ubuntu and break my chains to Windows more. Mike Bronosky

Hi Yingdan, You need to learn about I2C interfaces. You can find data at the Atmel and AVRFreaks sites on this as well as other places. Zack On Fri, 26 Sep 2008, Yingdan wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I am new to here and this is my first post. And I am totally new to > circuitry. > >

It depends your own goal, priorities, situation, and constraints, there are many kind of interfaces AVR family provide: 1. SPI 2. TWI 3. UART 4. USB -> AT90USBxx 5. Wireless connectivity with IEEE802.15.4, ZigBee, 6LoWPAN http://www.atmel.com/products/zigbee/ Inside Atmel AVR Stu

I don't know if ATMELs AVR series have this, but I would think a CAN bus would be a good option. The coms bus its self is usually a length of coax lead terminated at the end with (usually) 50ohms to stop reflections, then any additional microcontrollers are just tagged on with (f
