I looked at the specs for this when I first saw it earlier this week. Pretty impressive and complete. This is a very affordable turnkey system to learn microcontroller techniques.
It certainly brought back some memories about one of my first computers. Back in the day, my KIM-1 was pretty slick, and taught me the basics of bare-metal, bare-knuckle coding. Back then, we didn’t have C or BASIC to code with! All I had was the 7-seg LED output and the keypad. Instruction-load-data-load (repeat as necessary).
Man, I am _so_ tempted to get this, but I have enough little computers kicking around to play with. I really ought to blow the dust off my 2nd gen LEGO programmable brick.
Agreed. *dusts off his LEGO RCX v1.0*
i want that EasyPIC3 so bad, i’m going to get it once i get into PIC programming in colege. it sucks but i have to restart @ DC Fundamentals and have to go step by step until i get to the level i’m at in real life.
Sonic, you’ll love having that board when you get to sequential circuits. There were some assignments I had that took 20+ hours to do at the gate level and I reproduced in 20 minutes with a micro and demo’d both when I had to show them to the TA.
