First contact with ATmega8 microcontroller - part 2

First contact with ATmega8 microcontroller - part 1

Web (HTML/CSS/JavaScript/DOM)

Now, I'm going to leave the hardware parts alone and start working with the software. At the end of this part, we will have our firmware ready to be written (programmed) into the microcontroller.

avr, atmega8

In this second part, I'm going to build an AVR programmer to be connected to the PC's parallel port. I'm trying to summarize here all information I found spread all over the web.

avr, linux, atmega8, gentoo

Last week I bought an ATmega8 microcontroller. I plan to use it to build an arcade USB Joystick, but first I need to understand how it works and how to use it.

This and the following posts are an attempt to document my first contact with this microcontroller and to describe all needed hardware and software so you can start using a microcontroller too.
