Preface

Microchip Studio is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for writing and debugging AVR®/Arm® applications in Windows® XP/Windows Vista®/Windows 7/8 environments. Microchip Studio provides a project management tool, source file editor, simulator, assembler, and front-end for C/C++, programming, and on-chip debugging.

Microchip Studio supports the complete range of Microchip AVR tools. Each new release contains the latest updates for the tools and support for new AVR/Arm devices.

Microchip Studio has a modular architecture, which allows interaction with 3^rd party software vendors. GUI plugins and other modules can be written and hooked to the system. Contact Microchip for more information.

This user guide will guide you through all the major features of the IDE. It is designed as a video series with accompanying hands-on. Each section starts with a video, which covers that section.
