Mad Scientist (kakalambo) Mac OS
We just uploaded an update game version which patches a glitch in the game 'Greed - The mad Scientist', where the player sometimes was not able to find a gas mask needed. About This Game In this thrilling hidden object adventure the world famous scientist Dr. Ralph Goodwin promises to unveil a miracle drug able to cure almost all types of diseases.

This is a short list of resources for getting started with AVR microcontrollers. It’s intended as a supplement to intro AVR classes that we have given. We intend to periodically update this list; leave your suggestions for additions in the comments, please. (Last update: October 2012)
First of all, these GUI installers for the GNU AVR toolchain are really excellent: Two flavors for Mac and Windows:
CrossPack (Mac – recommended solution)
MHV AVR Tools (Windows – recommended solution. Also available for Linux and Mac)
On Linux and Unix-like operating systems (Macs included) you can also follow the directions given by bdmicro (330 kB PDF) for installing the components one at a time.
Almost certainly the best place to get started is at Ladyada’s AVR tutorial. It is extensive and up to date, and it will probably be kept up to date better than most of the other resources that we mention here.
A couple of other sets of instructions and reference guides:
- Sparkfun guide to embedded electronics, part I.
- MacAVR (Mac)
- The AVR Instruction Set (688 kB PDF), for those occasions when you need to assemble.
- Diagram of the GNU AVR toolchain
- AVR-libc user manual. Might want to jump right to the module list.
- The incredibly awesome online AVR fuse calculator! No more calculating fuse bytes by… um… calculator.
- AVRfuses fuse-programming application. Pretty sweet, cross platform.
Some notes on hardware:
- The AVR “Ghetto Programmer” – cheap, if you have a parallel port.
- PopSci teaches you how to take the The AVR Dragon programmer/dev board and make it actually useful.
- Useful list of AVR development tools at BDMicro
Mad Scientist (kakalambo) Mac Os X
A few interesting examples of AVR source code:
- TV-B-Gone, the open-source version.
- Gobs of other good examples at Ladyada.net
- Procyon AVRlib by Pascal Stang. Open-source C libraries to do all kinds of things– some quite advanced.
