I have still not released an equivalent to the early summer release of WinAvr however people seem to be getting along pretty well with the January release.

genz, the next thing in arduino.
I have been working on stripping the arduino down to something that should cost about $6 by pulling the power and the serial off of the board.

The missing 3 lines of code
void setup(void)
{
...
TCCR1A = 0×00; // sets timer control bits to PWM Phase and Frequency Correct mode
TCCR1B = 0×12; // sets timer control bits to Prescaler N = 8
ICR1 = 0×07d0; // Upper Timer Limit = 2000 (in hex) equals 2ms
}
//after which you can analogWrite to pins 9 and 10
