Loks like I need to make myself clear also. Sorry. When I said develop on the desktop I meant for a desktop target. Writing code this is to run on the desktop is far easier then wrioting code that is to run in a micro controller. Of course in both cases to type and edit using ther desktop machi

I must not have made myself clear. I certainly plan to use the development environments on my PC. That is, after all, why I loaded up AVR Studio and the IAR packages. Can you provide a link for the NTP thing you mention? Thanks. *** REPLY SEPARATOR ***

In fact, I was looking very hard at the 328P. AND I just happen to have an STK500 on the way from the east coast (thanks to an Ebay purchase). Already got AVR Studio installed, and I also have IAR's AVR package standing by. In short, I've got plenty to learn with. And yo

FWIW, if you're looking for a cheap, very capable AVR dev board. i've had very good success with the Teensy. You can use AVR-GCC or assembler but it has an Arduino compatibility layer if thats your thing. http://pjrc.com/teensy/index.html they're cheap and easy to work with, US made, and have gre

If the goal is to learn about AVRs that is a good project. But if you want a cheap IRIG decoder I bet you already have one. An IRIG driver is included with NTP. The NTP driver reads the time code from an audio interface set for 8Khz sample rate.If you are writing a decoder it might be good t
