[General] AVR Class at Makers Local 256

[Matt]

Hello!

Where: Makers Local 256, 203 Brown Street
When: Saturday, October 17th, 1:00 - 3:00pm
Cost: $30 (for the things you get to keep)

Mr. Mike Spiceland, a coworker of mine, will be giving an basic AVR
class in two weeks, October 17th from 1 to 3pm. Everyone will need
to bring a laptop with them. I'm waiting to hear back about getting
some Arduinos for $30. Please email me before Saturday if you're
interested in taking part in the class so we know how many people to
plan.

For those with Debian or Ubuntu systems, you should be able to just
run the following before the class:
apt-get install gcc-avr avr-libc avrdude

For those with Windows systems, you'll need to install the WinAVR
package here: http://winavr.sourceforge.net/

Don't worry if you have any problems getting your system setup, just
show up a little early and we'll be able to help you get going.

The class outline is as follows:

Class 1: Introduction to microcontrollers / AVR / Arduino
- October 17th
Basic Concepts
 building projects and programming your micro
 bits and bytes - hex, binary, binary C operators, and accessing
16-bit registers on an 8 bit micro
 getting familiar with the datasheet
 I/O ports - talking to the outside world
 intro to avr-gcc and avr-libc
Interrupts
 Interrupt Service Routines
 External Interrupts

Mike also has two more classes planned. We'll discuss when we want
to have them at the this class.

I look forward to seeing you there!
