How many AVR users on the PIClist?

[James Newton, Host]

May I have a quick show of click and send from those of you who have or are
interested in the AVR processors?

mailto:jamesnewton@...?subject=I_AVR&body=type%3A%0Dsite%3A%0Dcode%3
A

And if you have a second, include the type of AVR you use, your favorite
related web site (especially if you have one) and, for the very nice, copy
and paste your best example of AVR code.

If I get enough response, I may be able to build a good code library, which
seems to be missing from other AVR related sites.

Finally, I would really like to suggest that anyone who uses the PICList,
and is in the process of posting a question to one of the many AVR support
forums, please also take the few extra seconds to post the question here as
well with "[AVR] " at the start of the subject? I think we will be surprised
and how useful the PICList can be for AVR questions.

Hi James,
My reply keeps getting bounced. The mailto  - subject doesn't work
with gmail & even if I enter "I_AVR" in manually as the subject I
still get bounced. Is "I_AVR" the correct subject to get past your
filter?

I got the email. ASSP is getting a bit aggressive and needs to be
re-trained. Sorry.

Hi James -

Are you aware of the Procyon library at
http://hubbard.engr.scu.edu/avr/avrlib/ ?

It has a good selection of code for i/o, peripherals etc.

I use AVRs (don't really use PICs any more apart from for work due to
inertia there), but don't feel any need to post AVR specific questions here
- IME the forum at http://www.avrfreaks.net/ is great.

And if you have a second, include the type of AVR you use, your favorite related web site (especially if you have one) and, for the very nice, copy and paste your best example of AVR code.

James,
Tried to send you the above email but it was rejected as spam!

Anyway, we use the Mega128 in a few different products, and hardly use PICs anymore apart from one product with high end 18F series (that will likely be ported to a new platform in the near future).

In comparison to the PICs we have used, the AVR is faster, less buggy and the WinAVR GCC port is mature enough to produce some reasonable code.

Regards

Mike

Don't have one, it's all "best" after having worked for a little

Hard time getting debugger to execute code from reset instead of just stepping through it.
reinitialize every thing I can thing of and it finally executes code up to
about 0x11A then it reverts back to just stepping through program like it was just nops.
(mplab 7.6)

Using pic's since 1990 mostly small chips
have two icd-2 swapped, no effect.
1st time using header/pic16f627a
but used icd-2 with pic16f913 and others with no problem.
Did tie RA1 to ground in target board.

HELP!

Hi Ray,
I don't have access to any of my headers or notes right now but I do
have a question for you.  Are you using the MCLR line as I/O or as
MCLR?  I seem to recall that it needs to be MCLR and pulled up when
using the ICD-2.  I'll check into it further tonight but I'm getting
slammed at work right now.

Bill,
I always use external MCLR, just for debugging.
It looks like defective AC162053 from feedback I am getting from microchip.
Thanks,

I am using one to debug a 16F628a and using MCLR as IO, without trouble. The
ICD does other clever things through its extra dedicated interface pins to
reset the chip when required. I am not sure that it doesn't take the VPP pin
out as well.

It turns out mplab auto range of program memory to program got it wrong

debugger/settings/program/program memory start-end
"Allow ICD 2 to select memories and ranges" got it wrong!
end was short, had to manual adjust.

I've used a few AVRs.  I'm partial to the mega48.

I see the AVRfreaks site has already been mentioned.

Mega128, gcc and Procyon AVRlib do the job for me. I haven't used a PIC in
years. Most of my questions / discussions take place in the avr-chat groups
http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-chat and
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/AVR-Chat/. I've been away from the
PIClist for a while, but I have to say that some of the EE, OT and AVR are
pretty interesting.

I'll be back.

Phillip

I am entering into AVR now. Mostly for the GCC
compiler . It is easier for me to get PICs here in
Malaysia in small quantities. So I still use both.
