I've done this on a number of occasions (albeit for very modest projects). I use the Arduino with a breadboard for prototyping and then burn the hex file to a ATMega 328p chip when I am ready to build the final circuit on perfboard. I did my first numitron clock that I gave as an Xmas gift this year using this method. It's worked like a charm for me so far.
I have a full blown g540 genius programmer that I needed for other stuff, but I also built a MegaISP shield in a workshop that turns an Arduino into a AVR programmer with that sketch and avrdude. I believe you can even build the megaisp on a breadboard, although I have not tried that yet: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-program-a-AVR-arduino-with-another-arduin/step2/Making-the-mega-isp-programmer-on-a-breadboard/ On Wed, Jan 11, 2012 at 6:06 PM, John Rehwinkel <jreh...@mac.com> wrote: > > If there is similar library support for the AVR (non-arduino), I'd love > to hear about it because I've been doing it the hard way. :) > > There's nothing to keep you from using the Arduino libraries with a bare > AVR chip.
