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 to allow you to write and compile programs and load them.

It requires a plug-in that allows it to work with the installation of WinAVR. | ||
