Building a cheap AVR development Board

[Uderman]

Hello all,

Here in this link there is a description of how to build a simple AVR
development board:

http://freespace.virgin.net/seant.ellis/avreval.htm

It describes the Reset, Power and ISP circuits necessary to get
started.

It really is cheap and not dificult to geting started, as those
compoents and the AVR chip itself are not expencive parts.

See ya!

This is a good link.

Thanks for the post.

Hello,

If all you can get is PIC chips, a very similar circuit will work with
them. All you need to do is change the pin connections a little.

I would recommend trying to get an 18F series PIC rather then a 16F
series. The 18F just has that little bit more features wise and you can
get cool versions with inbuilt USB or Ethernet interfaces.
