Probably some of you know I'm a fan of TI's MSP430 microcontrollers. I'm
an even bigger fan now - they have a development kit for $4.30 with free
shipping and I just got a carton of them. I'm very impressed. The kit
includes a demo board with USB programmer/emulator, a 14/20 pin
microcontroller socket, a couple of LEDs and pushbuttons. They include a
baggie with some male and female headers, a 32KHz crystal, a mini-USB
cable and two 14 pin DIP microcontrollers. All for $4.30 delivered! They
are very popular, so it took a month for them to arrive, but it's pretty
amazing even though the emulation uses their fairly slow spy-bi-wire
instead of JTAG like their bigger devices. Anyway, if you're interested,
the kit is called the MSP-EXP430G2 and you can get it at estore.ti.com=20

They might be limiting quantities now, they weren't when I ordered.

MSP430 basics: 16 bit processor, 3.6 volt maximum, versatile power and
clock control for cpu and onchip peripherals.

Cheerful regards,

Bob
