Some Of The Basic Tools & Software’s Required For Robotics Project’s

# AVR Studio:
For writing code in assembly and simulation of code.
Current versions has AVR-GCC plug-in to write code in C.

# Compilers: IAR, Image Craft , Code Vision AVR, WinAVR

# Programmers: Pony Prog, AVR Dude, icprog, AVRISP, AVR-P1B and many more.

# Evaluation Boards: STK200, STK500 from Kanda Systems

# Books:
Programming and Customizing the AVR Microcontroller – Dhananjay V. Gadre
Parallel Port Complete – Jan Axelson

Many of these software’s you get free of cost at their websites.
You can use Homemade IC programming kit to program your microcontroller IC.
To build this, “Google” for circuit of IC programmer. It will cost you Rs.100-200 aprox. It support fewer IC’s & sufficient for basic project’s. Try USB cable circuit, it works fast otherwise continue with Serial cable RS232. But be very careful about connections otherwise you will blowup your computer.
You can also buy readymade programming kit from shops, but it will cost you in Rs.1000 & more. They support most IC’s.
