Re: [avr-chat] New Programmer, Small Program, F_CPU for Atmega644

[Robert L Cochran]

Thanks Marge! I'm glad of the detail because I need to learn and apply
Ohm's law routinely.

This along with Bill saying my first choice of power supply is okay
helps me feel good about going ahead and testing both the circuit and
the programmer. I'll post results later.
