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.

Speaking of sensors and PD and microcontrollers...

Anyone around here have experience with the Atmel AVR? I've been using a PIC 18F, but have recently discovered that the AVR is supported by gcc, and am eager to leave assembler behind as much as possible. I'd be interested in anyone's general impressions, as well as experiences with interfacing to PD/other music languages. How is the AVR better/worse than PIC?

Thanks, Ian

hi again,

to get an overview what kind of sensors exist, you may want to look at the digikey pages for sensors:

http://dkc1.digikey.com/DE/DE/PDF/DE051/P6.html (in german)

http://dkc1.digikey.com/US/PDF/T052/P6.html (in english)

if you see something of interrest, drop me a note and i will see how it should be interfaced...

greetings,

chris
