In the beginning of November 2011, I posted an article on NetBeans Zone about implementing AVR microcontroller support for NetBeans IDE. For the last month (in my spare time) I have been working to create the first plugin that brings the IDE closer to realizing that goal.
For my project "The Spirit of Amsterdam" we have to measure the speed of the vehicle. To do this we use the 'Lenord + Bauer Speed Sensor Gel 2474' with an optocoupler to deliver the data to an atmega32. The code however remains private until the race in Denmark except for the documentation which can be downloaded here.
A couple of days ago I got inspired to write a serial communications library in the C programming language to facilitate one-way communication between two atmega32 devices.
