AVR UART Code for STK200 and STK300 in WinAVR C

This UART code for AVR will work on STK200 and STK300 AVR boards and on most other UART
circuits. An initial value is transmitted every 250mS. When a byte is received on UART, the interrupt is triggered and value received is transmitted instead. The value is displayed on LEDs as a test.

AVR Studio


Create a C project in AVRStudio and make sure the AVR microcontroller is the one you want to use. WinAVR C is very fussy about the correct device and although the code will compile, it will not run properly unless the AVR microcontroller type is correct

To change AVR microcontroller, go to Project > Configuration Options and select correct AVR.
Note that only the C Compiler project changes, not main project device type. Also change
Optimization to -0s otherwise compiler has problems with delay routines.

Connect to PC via standard serial cable, not Nul-modem cable. Run Hyper Teminal (Programs > Accessories > Communications) and create New connection, with Connect Using set to COM1 (or other COM Port). In COM1 Properties set Baud Rate to 38400, Data bits to 8, no Parity, 1 stop bit
and no flow control.

														
#define F_CPU 8000000UL  // 8 MHz

/*Very Important - change F_CPU to match target clock 
  Note: default AVR CLKSEL is 1MHz internal RC
  This program transmits continously on USART. Interrupt is used for 
	Receive charactor, which is then transmitted instead. LEDs are used 
	as a test. Normal RX routine is included but not used.
  Change USART_BAUDRATE constant to change Baud Rate
