4 out of 5 stars Great introduction and a great buy.   April 2, 2003

Has it been a while since your last uP project? Get this book. Easy to read with lots of good examples. I/O, timers, UART, I2C and etc. Covers mostly the 90S1200 and Tiny parts. Morton points out where and what the differences are for other parts. Only problem I see is the organization. It can be difficult to find a particular section when using it as a reference. Reads more like a book than a reference which some may say is a good thing.

I knew nothing about the AVR when I bought this book. I just picked some books to start learning and WOW! It got me up to speed so that now I can program an AVR by myself. The only think I would have liked to see was more explaination of each of the codes used. But you can't get everything in one book.


4 out of 5 stars pretty good primer   May 12, 2006

I'm quite familiar with other uCs, so this one was a good one for explaining the details of the AVR and how it differed (specific pins, timing issues) from other uCs I've played with. I liked the reading style, and the code, though assembly, was easy to translate into C.


4 out of 5 stars I wish it had more hardware-related stuff...   July 8, 2008

This book is pretty-much what I expected it to be, so I made the right purchase. It introduces AVRs, generally outlines their hardware, and gives a lot of programs. I only wish the hardware part was more thorough, especially the getting-started part and the hardware-setup for programming. After all, this is an introductory course. That's the only reason I didn't give it five stars.


4 out of 5 stars AVR for entry-level software developer   October 20, 2009

It is a good book for anyone who is just starting writting code for AVR processors or who just wants to learn how to write assembly language.
