Hi. I've not used the arduino, but I'm actively programming using the avr-libc toolchain and avr-gcc in linux. AVaRICE works nicely, as does avrdude. The arduino is basically a ATMega168 with a FTDI USB to TTL serial chip, and a rather pretty board. The real fun comes when you get one of the many shields. _______________________________________________ Slugnet mailing list [email protected] http://wiki.lugs.org.sg/LugsMailingListFaq http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet
