I want to put a plug in for the Raspberry series. Particularly the SIMM configuration. Once I get this 80486 CPU board done, next on my list is a S100 support board for this “chip”. See her for more info http://www.raspberrypi.org/raspberry-pi-compute-module-new-product/ Great (ARM) software. Good video output and a decent amount or RAM. Enough I/O lines to also control the S100 bus and access these boards. John From: n8vem...@googlegroups.com [mailto:n8vem...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Tom Lafleur You know, you can't beat the PIC24/dsPIC33 (16bit) or the PIC32 for price and performance... I've used both for many project and have now standardizer on the PIC32..., no need to use a limiteted processor to do small project... The development tools are free and solid, lots of demo code available... a PIC32MX270F256B is in a dip package, USB serial, SPI, I2C I/O ATD ect... 64KB ram, 256K flash all for $4!!! (there even a version of BASIC that run on the chip) you can use a Microstick II from Microchip for $35 to program them or PicKIT3 for $45 ( on sale from time to time) (donot get a PICKIT2) http://www.microchip.com/DevelopmentTools/ProductDetails.aspx?PartNO=dm330013-2 ( if you have a .edu email address you can get at 25% discount) their just no need to use a limited Arduino today! tom lafleur On Fri, Jan 23, 2015 at 11:05 AM, Don Caprio <ilv...@gmail.com> wrote: I've been contemplating using micro controllers.
