AVR-Chat

OK, thanks.  Is there any way you can hook up the mega16 directly to the 
computer with an RS-232 level converter or some such?

I don't write programs in C at this point, I do them all in assmebler.  
But I like to do them in stages to verify each part is working.  For 
instance, I wrote a program for the mega8 that controls an AD9835 DDS 
chip.  I first wrote a program just to send a fixed frequency to the DDS 
chip to make sure that part of the program was working.  Then I added in 
the serial comm routines.  It's a half-duplex routine, so I made it send a 
sign-on message to the computer when the mega8 is reset, i.e. "AVR DDS 
controller v. 1.0". When I see that appear on the computer screen I know 
that part is working properly.

Then I add in the transmit/receive routines without interrupts and make 
sure they are working.  Once that is established, I add in the interrupts.

That way I know just what part of the program is faulty.
