07:58 AM McDonaldsWiFi: WinAVR seems outdated.. 2006 was the last updatE? is it still usable?
09:19 AM skz81: McDonaldsWiFi, try this : http://blog.zakkemble.net/avr-gcc-builds/
10:01 AM McDonaldsWiFi: skz81: thanks! i saw this buti ddin't know if it was legit
10:11 AM rue_mohr: use a C IDE with gcc-avr and avrdude
10:18 AM skz81: McDonaldsWiFi, it's not an "official build", for sure... Microchip stick to GCC 3.4 ou 3.5 IIRC.
10:19 AM rue_mohr: microchip was not willing to support C until they had to
10:20 AM skz81: hum, on windows... Seems there is a 4.9.2 from Atmel, but the link is dead (see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/avr-gcc-atmel/)
10:20 AM rue_mohr: they are going to drop the gcc support and start selling a custom compiler that will suck, wait for it
10:20 AM McDonaldsWiFi: yeah i was wanting to just use notepad++ to write the code and use gcc-avr to compile
10:20 AM skz81: Anyway, avr-gcc is supported as a "native" package by ARch : https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/avr-gcc/
10:20 AM McDonaldsWiFi: i dont like the atmels tudio ide
10:20 AM skz81: so I guess it's just rebuilding this package, but to run on windows...
10:20 AM rue_mohr: you dont need the atmel studio ide
10:21 AM rue_mohr: no, you can get avr-gcc from a million places
10:21 AM rue_mohr: precompiled even
10:21 AM skz81: rue_mohr, what/who are you saying "no" to ?
10:22 AM rue_mohr: microchip
10:22 AM rue_mohr: screw atmel studio,
10:22 AM rue_mohr: go to the avr-gcc project sites and get a copy
10:22 AM rue_mohr: use whatever ide you want
10:22 AM rue_mohr: use avrdude to upload
10:23 AM rue_mohr: write code you understand so that you do not have to reverse engineer its operation with an interactive debugger
10:24 AM McDonaldsWiFi: yeah im a huge fan of minimalist stuff
10:24 AM skz81: in other word : don't try to write a scheduler :p
10:24 AM McDonaldsWiFi: blaoted IDE's get on my nerves so much
10:24 AM rue_mohr: I use NEDIT and a makefile
10:24 AM rue_mohr: I'm willing to share the makefiles I have
10:24 AM rue_mohr: make; make install
10:24 AM McDonaldsWiFi: ahh no im good but thanks!
10:48 AM unclenorton: does anyone know where to ask questions about atmel sam microcontrollers?
11:05 AM FragginRight: are the tx (PJ1) and rx (PJ0) pins on the atmega 2560 the hardware i2c pins?
11:12 AM cehteh: read the datasheet?
11:26 PM day_ is now known as day
