- 5.d. Using AVRDUDE
After you’ve installed the necessary drivers, the next step is to download and install a compiler. WinAVR, located at http://winavr.sourceforge.net/, is an open source suite of software development tools for the Atmel AVR series of microcontrollers. It includes the GNU GCC compiler for C and C++. Follow the installation instructions they provide.
WinAVR alone will give you all the tools you need to start programming your Orangutan or 3pi robot, but Atmel offers AVR Studio, a free integrated development environment that works with the GCC C/C++ compiler. AVR Studio includes a simulator and other useful tools, and supports the AVR ISP protocol used by the Orangutan USB programmer. You can download AVR Studio from http://www.atmel.com/avrstudio/. Follow Atmel’s installation instructions. Note that newer versions of AVR Studio might not work with older versions of WinAVR, so we recommend you upgrade to the newest version WinAVR every time you get a new version of AVR Studio.
