Microcontrollers

Post Reply New Topic

Does anybody develop hardware or software for microcontrollers? If so, then what particular chips and development systems do you use?

I bought the older version of that kit.

A c compiler from them.

I made a few projects. Only one still that is in use is a motor speed controller on a mig welder.

I'd like to buy an Arduino

do you like this stuff?

I've done quite a few projects with PIC16 and PIC18 series chips (both home projects and professionally). I've recently bought development boards for two of the AVR32 series chips and am working on porting some seismic datalogger code to one of them.

When I was much much younger I worked with Intel 4004 and 8080 as well as Motorola 6800, 6809, 68HC11, and 680xx.

Sounds a bit like me. I have the PIC17 ICE kit here, still. They don't seem to make those any more. See my website for 68008 involvement (Sinclair QL/Minerva).

Just had a peruse of the Anduin kit. The AT168 looked good, if a bit short on legs, until I saw the random 4, 5 or 6 cycle interrupt latency. The plus side is that it's all open source and isn't too expensive.
