AVR Dragon STK200 AVR Board

AVR Dragon ICE with STK200 AVR Board

This starter kit is the best way to learn about AVR microcontrollers and how to program them. It is more than just a flexible but simple to use AVR board with an AVR Dragon AVR programmer and emulator, it is a training kit.

It is designed to get you started and covers all the basics before moving on to assembly language and C programming. It is popular with colleges and universities as well as individuals because it teaches you all about the AVR microcontroller in a clear, straightforward way.

STK200 AVR Dragon features

This kit allows debugging and programming of almost all AVR microcontrollers, in 8, 20, 28 and 40-pin packages, with complete instructions, sample code and books on CD.

• AVR Dragon ICE, complete with leads, adapters and instructions
• Comes with latest AVRStudio4 AVR Development Environment
• Can easily be used with new AVRStudio6, available as free download
• STK200 AVR Board has socket support for 8,20,28 and 40-pin microcontrollers
• STK200 board has UART, LED, switches, ADC, LCD and keypad interfaces
• Includes CD books on AVR and Embedded C programming
• Sample code, datasheets and instructions
• AVR Dragon can power STK200 board, no extra power supply needed

AVR Development with STK200 AVR Dragon

AVRStudio 4 is a very good development environment, and comes with WinAVR C Compiler plugin to make working in C really easy. The kit has instructions on creating AVRStudio projects and connecting hardware to program and debug code from AVRStudio. The hardware connections are the same for AVRStudio 6, and full instructions are included for using kit in AVRStudio 4 and 6.

The Get Going with AVR Book and Embedded C book cover the basics of the AVR and how to write code in assembly language or C and the sample code supplied covers all the major concepts, including UART, LCD and keypads.
