MicrocontrollerProgramming

One can do a lot of clever things with a $25 of interface hardware, a $5 microcontroller, and some software.

A lot of people make it sound like this sort of thing is really, really complicated, and really expensive. Pfff.

other microcontroller discussion forums (fora ?)

• http://AvrFreaks.com/ has a lot of information about the Atmel AVR series of microcontrollers
• Dontronics: "MicroChip PIC Hardware Designers/Software Authors" tries to bring together people with ideas but no experience, software people, and hardware people.
• http://eoler.tk/ also has a big potential to provide a lot more information and projects about the Atmel AVR series of microcontrollers

random other web sites that seem to be vaguely relevant

• http://parallax.com/
• PFAVR -- An ANS Forth Implementation for the Atmel AVR by Andrew Sterian. “known to work on … Atmel STK500/STK501 development system, ATmega128, CY7C1019B-15 128K external SRAM soldered to STK501”

• Embedded Development with XCode by Jim Schimpf (how to program Atmel AVR from a Macintosh development machine)

chatter

DavidCary is interested in microcontroller programming, embedded systems, and other “small” microcontroller projects.

For example, I’m thinking of building a flight computer ( http://david.carybros.com/html/schematic.html#flight_computer ). The Taniwha design is 29mm wide and 210 mm long, but I’m thinking about how to make it even smaller so it fits into smaller hobby rockets.

Is there some other wiki that would be better than the SoftwareBazaar for microcontroller programming discussion ?
