Anyone use Futurelec Atmega controller board and WinAVR? - Ray - Dec 19 3:45:00 2005
Hi
I have just joined the group and I have purchased the controller board
with a view to developing digital output from a gem faceting machine I
am building. Also interested in rev couner for my 9x20 metal lathe.
I have used WinAVR for the 8535 for LCD and keboard and like the IDE.
Pity about inline assembler though.
Regards
Ray

I have some stuff that may be useful.
I created a CNC Spindle encoder for my lathe, which you can see over
here:

I also put together some sample code for a Tachometer for the Robostix,
which has an ATmega128 on it. With a few changes you should be able to
get it to work on the ATmega32 (I used Timer3, but you should be able to
change everything to use Timer1).

Changing it to be a rev-counter instead of tachometer should be pretty
simple.

Thanks Dave for the info.
Most of the project code on the net is for the Atmel development
board (or similar) or in assembler and although I can and have
written AVR assembler, for the projects I am doing C is a better
choice. Among other things I prototype the code under Windows XP
using a DLL and header files to "harmonise" the AVR environment. The
application is the important part (usually).
LCD and keyboard etc are Windows graphics with the same API calls as
I use on the Atmega.
What I want to do is match all the port pins etc as used by the
Futurelec board and hoped someone has done it before.
