If you do go down the PIC32 route, look at this part... PIC32MX270F256B-50I/SP View Datasheet It has 256k of program flash, 64k of ram, internal xtal in a 28 pin dip package for $4, you just can't beat the value of this part.... Plus the IDE and C compilers are free and development tools work on PC, Mac and Linux. Basic would be easy to port... I/O is simple.... I use it in my high school robotics program.... The kids do amazing things with them...
Lots of development boards... http://www.microchip.com/DevelopmentTools/Listing.aspx?CatID=3&CatText=32-bit+PIC®+MCUs This is the one I use in class... Just change the part to the pic32mx150f or pic32mx270F... It's $35 http://www.microchip.com/DevelopmentTools/ProductDetails.aspx?PartNO=DM330013-2 Another basic port for the PIC32... http://www.cpustick.com/index.html Good luck.... i~~ _/) ~~~~ _/) ~~~~ _/) ~~~~ _/) ~~i Tom Lafleur (858) 759-9692 > On Aug 25, 2014, at 9:51 PM, Tom Lafleur <[email protected]> wrote: > > You may want to look at this... > > http://mmbasic.com/overview.html > > http://geoffg.net/maximite.html > > http://www.andrewhazelden.com/blog/2013/03/irixbasic-on-a-pic32-microcontroller/ > > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5348882/which-interpreted-language-can-work-on-on-microchip-pic32 > > > > > > i~~ _/) ~~~~ _/) ~~~~ _/) ~~~~ _/) ~~i > > Tom Lafleur > (858) 759-9692 > >> On Aug 25, 2014, at 2:02 PM, Don Caprio <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> My 11 year old son and I have been kicking around doing a >> science experiment this year based on computers.
