Which is the cheapest microcontroller or PIC available.

May 27, 2006 34 Replies

So if you are considering a $0.60 per unit uP and the development tools cost $1000, that adds from something like $2.00 up to $10.00 per unit. The point I'm trying to make is that the cheap chip might cost more if the tools are proprietary.

==================================== As long as everybody gets to pitch their favorite inexpensive micro, why not look at the tiny avrs? Less than $1, 8 pin pack, free tools, etc etc

This is USENET

I think tiny avrs and 430f2001 from ti are cheap development tools

========================= atmel.com and avrfreaks.net both have info on tiny avrs

How many people are really using line-at-a-time newsreaders any more? (On teletypes and VT-100s?) I use Outlook Express for threaded newsreading, and frankly, I find top-posting of replies easier to take in than bottom-posting. It's a matter of having lived in the full-screen-editing era for the past 20 years or more.

Notice that in order not to bother you, I bottom-posted here.

They're 'ok' for simple replies. Anything more makes then clumsy.

That has nothing whatsoever to do with the need for quoting and bottom-posting.

Q: Why is top posting bad?

BOBG actually i was asking for some ebook or tutorial type of link

=============================== If you choose an avr processor, avrbeginners.net has tutorial examples

I got 89c2051 in 0.7$ and in my city I was not able to get tinyavr

================================================== Well, you didn't ask us "What is the cheapest microprocessor in my city?" did you? Does your city have a mail man that rides into town every now and then?

Sorry BobG I just forget but i can ask for the chip from other cities if i want they will post that to my door steps

u are free to give names of cheapest controller whether they are easily available or not.
