First AVR Project
The first few projects would only be simulation based as it provides more flexibility and learning value to the user. I use Proteus from labcenter to simulate the software and Bascom AVR from MCS electronics to write the programs and compile them. Below you can see screenshots of both programs. They are both available for a trial, which must be sufficient for a beginner.
Bascom AVR IDE
ISIS Proefessional Proteus
Steps to do the first AVR project:
- Write the program in Bascom AVR and Compile it.
- Build the circuit in ISIS Professional (in Proteus package)
- Program the AVR Microcontroller in ISIS and run the simulation.
