You will at least need AVRDUDE (AVR Downloader UploaDEr) to upload and download files to the Atmel chip. It is a command line interface (DOS). If you use Tido's programs then you don't need to compile anything: those programs are ready to be loaded. If you install WinAVR, AVRDUDE will be included. You can also install AVRDUDE separately. | You will at least need AVRDUDE (AVR Downloader UploaDEr) to upload and download files to the Atmel chip. It is a command line interface (DOS).

You may also need to install a driver for the USBasp. I've used the cheap eBay USBasp (Fischl clone) and latest driver from [http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb-win32/ libusb-win32 project]. Should work on all Windows 98 and newer. The software package has a wizard application, connect your USB device, run the wizard, select your connected USBasp and the wizard will generate a driver for that devices for you. Then install the generated driver by running it's installer. | You may also need to install a driver for the USBasp.

If you want to customize Tido's programs you will need a C compiler configured to work with AVR equipment. (Some people write AVR programs in assembly language which gives more compact programs, but you are on your own if you go that route.) You have two options: WinAVR or AVR Studio. | If you want to customize Tido's programs you will need a C compiler configured to work with AVR equipment.
