I'm downloading it from the Atmel site, but I haven't really = seen whether it's an eval. version or not.), and a power supply. What's the catch?! Any reasons why I shouldn't purchase this system? I'm interested in getting started with the AVR's, but I've always = thought a dev. kit and IDE cost about $1000. - Robert -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
