SYSTEM HIGHLIGHTS
The “AVR™ Microcontroller Professional
Starter System” has been designed as a
low-cost entry tool into the Atmel AVR™
microcontroller arena. The system includes
all the components required to get up and
running with this new family of RISC
microcontrollers including device
programmer, evaluation module, AVR™
assembler, AVR™ BASIC Compiler (lite
version) and a sample AT90S1200
microcontroller.
The ‘Activ8r’ programmer supplied with the
system is capable of ‘fast parallel’
programming of the currently available
8-pin, 20-pin and 40-pin (DIL) AVR™
microcontrollers from Atmel in the ZIF
socket. The programmer
is also capable of
in-system
programming
devices (in the
user’s target
board) by
means of
10-way ribbon
cable supplied.
The evaluation module supplied with the
system, Evalu8r, supports most 8, 20 and
40-pin AVR microcontrollers. On board
features include: LED’s, Switches, Sounder,
RS-232 communications and an in-system
programming port.
The system gives you the option of writing
code in AVR™ assembler or AVR™ BASIC.
The BASIC compiler produces fast efficient
machine code for the AT90S1200 and can
be used to complete full development
projects for this device. An upgrade to an
8K code version is also available which
supports the entire family up to the
AT90S8515.
* Please Note:
AVR BASIC LITE
will not
operate under
Windows 3.11™
