Re: [newbie] starting with hardware development



Even if you can physically link that board to the Mac, how do you get the development software to run?

Sad as it is, but when you start doing microcontroller work it is hard to avoid using a PC at least in some function. We do write and assemble our code on Macs since this is faster and more reliable, but the emulators and burners hang on Wintel PCs since the tools venders make no Mac versions.

Hey all!

For a while now i have some ideas for USB hardware that i wish to try out. Obviously, i need some equipment for this.

I have been programming some PICs on my uni, and would like to be able to do this on my mac.

I have been told that AVR-chips are nowadays the way to go, so what i basically need is a USB-device that lets me program AVR chips, and some suggestions on how to get started (i've been looking around, but i find it very hard to find any leads)

i have been told that

Would be a good device to get going, in combination with a USB->Serial adapter, can anyone confirm this?


Once more, i'm a total newbie, so any advice is welcome.
