How to get experienced in Codevision AVR???????????????

Hi all,

I am very new in AVRs, I have recently started with Atmegas and codevision. When I asked my friends they suggested me to work in codevision AVR so i did, but now I found Codevision AVR very difficult to work in, it is very complecated, secondly it generates auto coding too, then what is the purpose of a sofware wirter (person) when it generates code for you? But yet i saw on net that number of peaple like it.

As i started with it so I want to take help from you all to be experienced in Codevision AVR, Please suggest me sites or books or some examples which can help me. I also tried but could not get a +ve part. Please suggest me simple examples.

I want to take your veiws about Codevision which will be a great help for me.

best regards

I've used CodeVision AVR, AVR-GCC with various IDEs and IAR EW AVR when coding various projects.

All compilers have their pros and cons, you need to select the best compiler that fits your requirements and coding style.

The CodeVision CodeWizard I believe to which you are referring, basically builds code snippets to properly configure various peripheral modules.

It can come in handy when initializing/configuring the UART, I2C, SPI, Analog, etc modules, in effect it may save you from having to refer to the devices datasheet for the proper register values.

The following are some online tutorials and documents concerning CodeVision AVR:

That is true and useful as long as libraries for peripherals are trustworthy (which Micriochip ones often are not). It happened to me several times that I was pulling my hair off because of some bug in library (always reversed uart polarity in dspic30, anyone?)

I've never used CodeVision software so I can't say anything, but watch out.
