How to program Monochron? (BASCOM?)

Post by Mikemolang »

OK, I got my Monochron built and I loaded different firmware. Life is good. Now I want to start wrting my own apps for it.

1) I am pretty good at AVR programming when using MSC Electronic's BASCOM. Does anyone out there have experience using BASOM with Monochron? If so, can you get me started?

2) Is there a tutorial for making a "Hello World" program (ie a tutotial to write a super simple program from scratch that simply causes the Monochron to display "Hello world" on the screen) for the Monochron? Or any other "How to write custom apps for your Monochron" tutorials?

Thanks!
Mike

the code is written in C, there will almost certainly never be a BASCOM version so you'll have to dive into the AVRGCC code!

OK, no problem. (Well, small problem, but I have done a little C programming before, so what the heck.)

Still, is there a guide to getting started, a pointer to the libraries, etc?

Thanks!
Mike
