Yama: Which model of microcontroller will you use? Which programmer/connector will you use?
Yes, I think your mspdebug experience might be a 'user' and 'group' thing on the USB device, but it might be a kernel driver, which normally needs root access. If you use Windows on your netbooks one nice way to install the GNU toolchain to compile C programs is Red Hat's cygwin project: http://cygwin.com/ David p.s. Have you seen Physical Etoys? It is free tile scripting for microcontrollers, though I don't think an XO bundle has been made. Low ceiling, but interesting. http://tecnodacta.com.ar/gira/projects/physical-etoys/ Also Squeakbot and PhidgetLab http://www.planete-sciences.org/robot/boiteabots/ http://www.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/hirschfeld/projects/phidgetlab/index.html _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
