I have a project coming up were i will need to port some PIC code to an AVR. Having only worked with PIC mcus this will be something new for me. Can anyone recommend a good book to get started with AVRs?

yea i just went thought their newbie guide. I dident realize how similar it is to PIC development. I think ill be able to get away with just using the instruction set manual and data sheets. thanks.

p.s. 1 declares a port as an output, and 0 as an input?!?! i foresee a great deal of frustration in my future.

look at WinAVR - integrates with Atmel’s AVR studio.

This gives you a great C compiler and lots of library routines.

Also - codevision AVR’s C, free version for small programs.

And MikroBasic - much like VB6.

no need for assembly language these days.

I have a small app that converts pic code to avr code. Its really old, and I never used it.

Since we cannot post files here let me know if you need it. I can send it or upload it somewhere.

Good Luck
