Thanks for the explaination Dave. I'm just getting into microcontrollers
right now - I'm working with Atmel ATMega devices. I like the toolchain
and I can leverage all the work done with the Arduino software stack..
That's good stuff! The AVR architecture looks wonderful from the docs,
though I've never programmed it myself.
I bought one of Atmel's STK500 "beginner" kits last week. It looks
pretty
interestin, but I haven't had time to dig into it yet. Still building
projectors for the sim. :)
