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. | You will at least need AVRDUDE (AVR Downloader UploaDEr) to upload and download files to the Atmel chip.

If you want to customize the programs or write your own, you will need a compiler. The programs can be written in assembly language or C. Assembly can give more compact programs, but C is easier to write and understand, so that is what is being used so far. AVR Studio is available free from Atmel after registering to allow you to write and compile programs and load them. [http://winavr.sourceforge.net/ WinAVR] is a free collection of all the software you need as well as a graphical user interface (GUI) to edit, compile, and load programs. [http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-cc-developers/heliosr Eclipse] is another free GUI and is what Tido uses. It requires a plug-in that allows it to work with the installation of WinAVR. | If you want to customize the programs or write your own, you will need a compiler.

AVR Studio is available free from Atmel after registering to allow you to write and compile programs and load them. It has a neat interface for some programmers, but not USBasp, so if you are using USBasp, you will still need AVRDUDE to actually upload the files. | ||
