Atmel AVR + Computer Music (was: Re: [PD] teabox [sensors])

[jsarlo at UCSD.Edu]

I've been tooling around with an AVR (actally, Miller's board) for a little
while now, building some midi controllers. I definitely recommend it. The whole
GNU tool chain is there and programming with the SparkFun board is a snap
(serial connection) with PonyProg (http://www.lancos.com/prog.html). I recommend
grabbing the Procyon AVRLib (http://hubbard.engr.scu.edu/embedded/avr/avrlib/).
It has nice util functions for a2d, timers, and the CCRMA midi stuff is in there
too.
