[dorkbotpdx-blabber] avrdude ... I'm so afraid to mess up my fuses

[Scott Dixon]

Another thing which can make avr fuse programming less daunting is to  
use the avr fuse calculator (http://www.engbedded.com/fusecalc/) which  
not only gives you a friendly menu of choices to pick the features you  
want to set but also gives you the appropriate avrdude command to set  
them.
