[Tutorial] ReefAngel/Arduino to AVRStudio 4

[Bryan]

All:

Thought I would share this tutorial for importing over the ReefAngel project to AVRStudio 4. Advantages are a much better IDE than the Arduino with the capability to debug your project. I have not yet tried any debugging, but no reason why it would not work. Any questions fire away and I will try and answer.

One advantage of using AvRStudio over Arduino IDE is the compiler flags can be modified. With the following changes it is possible to add a few more features to the project without running out of memory.

I wonder why... I was under the impression Arduino IDE uses avr-gcc too. Maybe it is some flags not being used when compiled with AVRStudio.

Yes, uses avr-gcc . The flags are hard coded in the Arduino IDE program, no way of adding them that I am aware of, unless there is some trick in adding them to the preferences.txt file.
