AVR-Chat

I attended the first stop on the Atmel road show yesterday and if you  
can spare a day from work and can make it, I'd recomend it.

There are 2 sessions.  low power and touch sensing.  All of it is  
hands on.  Cost is $100 and includes lunch and you go home with the  
hardware.

In the low power session, we started off with an AVR part running a  
simple app and measured the current draw, then were guided through the  
steps of decreasing power use until it did the same thing for 1/20 the  
power use.  We did it again with an Xmega and a UC3 based processor.

At the end of the class, we got to keep the JTAG ICE we were using and  
also got a wireless dev kit as an extra.

Here's the link:

Bummer, none near me.
