[avr-chat] AVR on the Mac

[Peter Harrison]

Hi

I have started to use a Mac for the first time. A sort of Geeky mid- 
life crisis thing I expect. Anyway, I want to gather some  
microcontroller development tools and decided to start with the AVR. I  
have used these in the past and like them a lot. I am charting my  
progress here:

I would be pathetically grateful if any of you could take a look and  
offer any words of encouragement or advice for using any of these  
tools on a Mac or links to other information that I might have missed.  
I have looked at pages like these:

 http://www.ladyada.net/learn/avr/setup-mac.html
 http://www.harbaum.org/till/macavr/index.shtml
 http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/~mseeman/resources/macmicro.html

And I have found the graphical programmer AVRFuses

 http://www.vonnieda.org/software/avrfuses

which acts as a front end for avrdude.

So far, it has been a bit of a struggle to sort some stuff out. Seems  
I was spoiled badly by tools like AVR Studio, CodeVision and WinAVR.
