BASCOM-AVR 2.0

BASCOM AVR is a very powerful and easy-to-use compiler for the AVR series of micro controllers developed by Atmel. The program comes with a very user-friendly interface and a set of simple commands, and provides more flexibility than other programs in this category. Anybody with some basic knowledge of C or C++ can write a successful program using BASCOM, as most of its functions and its statement structure is similar to those in C. Expert users will find many well-known commands and loops that can shorten a lengthy program, thus reducing the flash or EEPROM memory required.

The best thing about BASCOM AVR is that it can directly burn any flash file into a micro controller using just four wires connected to your computer’s parallel port (printer port, or LPT port). If you are using a laptop or a netbook with just a USB port, then you can compile and save your program as a hex or bin file and burn it later using USBISP burners with any third-party flash burning tool. This version comes with a built-in PDF viewer, which helps you to have your circuit schematics and the pin configurations of your uC always handy when you're writing a program. The program's simulator, syntax checker, and emulator tools can help you scan your program for errors before burning it into any uC. The more than a hundred sample programs and free online tutorials included will help you to learn micro controller programming at home without any extra help. more
