I have also played with Arduinos and very much agree that the =20 environment makes it very easy to hammer out quick simple projects. =20 Been meaning to try out the Digilent-PIC version. I don't think we should have an Arduino forum/tag here as there are =20 already some very good forums for that. However would I absolutely =20 agree with a PIC-specific Arduino forum (Digilent etc), to discuss =20 things specific to those spin-offs. Or perhaps include other =20 non-Atmel Arduino spin-offs (Freescale, etc). Perhaps call it =20 "[ALTDUINO]" :) Cheers, -Neil.
