Very nice, i like that it uses few parts. i notice its in the product section of your site, i wouldnt mind buying a kit, or atleast a pre-programmed atmega168 :) - if you have any spare

I bought an arduino last year and i havent done much with it other than flash a few leds, id like to learn C but i have yet to find a good guide for beginners. do you have any pointers or references?

Thanks for your comment! :-) I'm afraid I don't have any kits or spares, or intend to start selling any - I bought most of the parts from Bitsbox. The SI Prog is a cheap way to program blank AVRs.

What were you looking for in a C tutorial? How to write C, or how to write C for an AVR? The AVR-GCC docs are great for AVR-specific information, as are the AVR datasheets. AVR Freaks may have some more information, though their beginner tutorial is in ASM.

The AVR programmer design I use can be found on Electronics-DIY. (How are you meant post useful responses if YouTube silently ignores any comment that contains anything that vaguely looks like an URL? Send me a message if anything I've mentioned above is too vague and you need any further information).

Awesome work. I somehow got to your website, and enjoyed reading through it.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

That is the fun in programming. The low level stuff+the wires.

Next step is to build it from just wires and transistors!

[benryves]

Thanks for the comment! :-) Most of the hard work in this project is carried out by the software on the microcontroller, most of which is written in C - not very low-level at all! Still, it's fun to put together a circuit yourself, and end up with a self-contained system you have full control over.

good work mate :)
