ATmega4 vs ATmega8 vs ATmega328. Project use? (question)

Hello,

You could download AVR Studio from Atmel (free) and be able to debug and program your Atmega microcontrollers. I'd recommend a AVR dragon which is a low cost programmer/debugger.

If you have more questions and need a place for more AVR resources check out, avrfreaks.com which is a community of AVR enthusiasts who are very helpful.
