I'm looking for (cheap) easy programable little pcb-microprocessor

Dec 19, 2004 5 Replies

Thanks for reading this. I would like to find a small all-in microprocessor which I could easialy program with a PC using the serialport. Would love to use just basic and have just 1 IC with build-in clock, I/O and maybe even a A/D converter and beeper-output.



With this I like to make small things like a timer, alarm, doorcodelock,...



Can you advice me where to start and if it is cheap and easy to build the programmer, where to find the needed pc-software,...



Thanks!!!



no mail please



Take a look at the Picaxe.

More information is available via Google.

Maybe Microchip's PIC would be interesting to you. There's several variations and they are available from DigiKey.

Sounds like a basic-stamp.

Thanks, Frank. (remove 'q' and 'invalid' when replying by email)

The Atmel ATMega series -- best bang per buck you can get IMHO.

In particular, the ATMega128 has more I/O options than you can poke a stick at, runs at 16MHz from an internal oscillator, and gets around 12-16MIPS at that speed. Free assembler and C development tools, uses in-circuit programmable flash memory which requires very basic programmers (schematics abound on the net). $15 at Digikey. :)

BASIC STAMP, of course.
