RE: [AVR-Chat] Comments or thoughts required please

Hi Jeff,

 

At one time, I belonged to  a robotics club in Roseville.  The AVR and the
Propeller were the  two most popular chips.

 

The Propeller with 8 cores was a  dream for robotics.

 

I was one of  26 folks around the world to  be on the  beta test team  for
the Propeller.  I did these programs to teach engineers around the  world
how program  it.

No  documentation was developed  at the time,  only a crud reference manual.

Why not just buy an EVK1104?
Some learning to move to 32 bit AVR but what a board!

Gidday,
I was going to upgrade my STK500 to a STK600. But I then became aware of the
development boards from "Mikroe Electronics". Specifically the "EasyAVR6"
and the "BigAVR6" development systems, they seem to be ideal for a home
hobbyist who wants to concentrate on the software side before trying to
implement the hardware. I currently have no one grand plan when it comes to
projects, but want to have a play with, data logging, GPS, home automation,
and would love to build a laser projector. 
My questions for the group are.
Has anybody dealt with this company and how did they find them?
Has anybody got these boards and what do they think of them?
Any other comments on the above would be welcome too.
Thanks in advance Darryl
