Wow loads of replied, thanks guys! Anyway, I'm looking into all the options you've suggested, it'll take me a while to look at them all, but some look promising This is a proof-of-concept application for a robot football team. The final devices, if ever built, have to be pretty small and low-power. At the moment I'm not worrying too much about this but I have to keep it in mind that I haven't got an indefinate amount of space nor power, which unfortunately rules out using a desktop.. Budget is relatively small - I could probably stretch to about $200 for a suitable device. Some device I've seen are as low as $10, other up to $1000, so my fingers are crossed that what I want lies in my budget.. Anyway, let me check up on these leads and I'll get back to you. -- Sent from the MicroControllers - PIC forum at Nabble.com: http://www.nabble.com/Choice-of-a-Microcontroller-t756734.html#a1986552 -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
