I joined college this year and i also joined robotics club thinking that they will teach how to programme in asm .They are using a compiler called bascom for programming atmega16 microprocessor in basic.But i want to programme a robot in asm or c.So what compiler should i use and how do i burn the programme in microprocessor.I heard of programmer .What is it.Is it a cable used to transfer the programme in the microprocessor
After writing a programme in a baascom the demonstrater clicked a option called burn inm the bascom compiler.The PCB board was connected to a microprocessor with a cable which went behind the CPU where the printer goes .Is that cable called a programmer.But if i amake a programme for a line follwer in my dev c++ compiler how do i transfer it to the microprocessor because in Dev c++ we dont have a burn option.

: Hi Bodhi,
First, the atmega16 is not a microprocessor but it is an AVR microcontroller from ATMEL. Normally you cann't burn programmes in microprocessors but you can burn it in microcontrollers. You have to buy an Atmel microcontrollers programmer and you have to generate the HEX file from the asm file. Feed the Hex file into the programmer and burn it! If you want to programme it in asm you need programme AVR STUDIO 4 from Atmel.It is free. You can download it from Atmel's homepage. If you programme in asm you don't need any compiler.

That's one option, but if you know a thing or two about electronics you can
save a load of money by making your own programmer. There are really simple
schematics out there if you search for "atmega16 programmer" on Google.

I've used WinAVR for compiling and PonyProg for writing the hex file into
the controller, but use whatever works for you .
