USB STK200 AVR Starter Kit

The best Starter Kit ever...

STK200 AVR Development Kit now with USB programmer
The STK200 AVR Development Kit designed by Kanda for Atmel AVR and ATmega microcontrollers is the most successful starter kit EVER produced. Over 30,000 STK200 Kits have been sold world-wide for embedded system development and training using the AVR microcontroller. Now Kanda have updated and improved this classic STK200 AVR Development Kit.

STK200 Main Features

The STK200 AVR Development Kit is designed for everyone from complete beginners to experienced engineers, and includes all the software, hardware and information required for AVR development.

• AVRStudio Development environment
• WinAVR C compiler, integrated into AVRStudio
• Get Going with... AVR Microcontrollers book on CD
• Embedded C book on CD
• Sample code, full instructions and schematics
• USB AVR ISP programmer, with its own software or it can be integrated into AVRStudio 4 and 5
• Comprehensive AVR board

The STK200 AVR Development Kit is a low cost solution, and does not include an emulator. AVRStudio has a simulator for basic debugging and the AVR ISP programmer is used to run code on the AVR board. Kits other than STK200 AVR Development Kit are available that include emulators:

Software Details - STK200 AVR Development Kit

Application Builder- STK200 AVR Development Kit
The STK200 AVR Development Kit Application Builder uses wizards to generate AVR set-up code for timers, UART, USART, ADC, SPI, ports, watchdog and interrupts. The stack pointer, external SRAM access and other microcontroller features can also be set. Allows you to quickly create AVR source code templates, code examples and test routines, getting you started quickly. Includes Bootloader setup code.

AVR Studio - STK200 AVR Development Kit
We have included the latest version of Atmel's AVR Studio 4 development environment, with permission of Atmel Corp. It has all you need including full editor, assembler and simulator for all devices. This is the best development system from any semiconductor manufacturer by a long way. AVRISP programmer is integrated into AVRStudio or can be run separately.

---

Unlimited WinAVR C Compiler
GNU C-compiler AVRGCC integrates into AVRStudio development environment, enabling projects to be developed in C or Assembler.

---

AVR ISP
AVRISP uses USB port and includes silent install. It is integrated into AVRStudio 4, and can be very easily added to AVRStudio 5, full instructions included. The software has

• Flash and EEPROM memory editable buffers
• Comprehensive and easy to use fuse and lock bit screens
• Automatic ISP speed setting
• Device identification
• Serial numbering, RC calibration byte reading
• Program, verify, read and erase functions

Manuals, schematics, sample code etc.

As well as a getting started guide there are AVR board schematics, AVR datasheets and manuals. There is also 2 books on AVR microcontroller programming and on Embedded C programming on the CD. There is also a range of sample code files, covering basic I/O, UART, LCD, External memory and other topics.
