Hey guys. A while back I purchased some Atmega8 microprocessors, a breadboard and some other stuff, and I'm trying to remember how to actually put a program on the microprocessor.
I'm about to rig up a spare PC power supply for a regulated 5V source, then use a couple random components to try making something sorta useful. Once I've figured out some basics, I can start writing something actually useful.
I know there are some tutorials that show some basic coding with free compilers, but I'm having trouble finding them now. Any ideas?
Also, does anybody know a good place to start for adding USB and CAN Bus interfaces to a program on the microprocessor? And to make the USB useful, how about a tutorial for talking to my device from a standard Windows program created in something like C# or VB.Net?
Thanks!
