The AVR Dragon

I've been a little distracted from this project for a little while with some other projects, but I haven't forgotten about it.  As I recall, I'm getting to the point that I want to program an Atmel microcontroller.  Initially, my idea had been to use the Arduino software and libraries to develop and compile the source code for the densitometer and the Arduino UNO to load it to the microcontroller.  This sounded like a good idea, but I encountered some limitations that eventually led me to scratch the whole idea of using Arduino and look into proprietary solutions.  Enter Atmel AVR Dragon. It was reasonably priced at just over $50 and works with Atmel Studio.  It just arrived the other day.  I'll provide an update when I have time to try it out. 

Interesting box.
