Folks, Thanks for all your advice, not to mention personal emails as well.
After reading the advice here and info on the net elsewhere I've settled on AVR. As I stated, being a very experienced software developer, C was important to me and also as I get to grips with the micro controller experience, some ability to produce larger and larger projects which the AVR range certainly provides. The were some other great ideas suggested but weighing everything up I think this is the right path for me. As a development board I nearly went with the mega-donkey (looks good Mark), but I thought I'd start with something smaller first. I chose this: http://microcontrollershop.com/product_info.php?products_id=2374&osCsid=e0d493c4233a8005180aad018d1d5bd6 which for $99 seems excellent value. Whilst I don't need the C training provided, I liked the look of the course for teaching all aspects of the AVR micro controllers. I'll be sure to provide feedback down the track on my decision. :-) Thanks again all, Regards, Jim _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
