How about using an Atmel Butterfly? Looks like a fun dev kit to play with.

****************
Here's a description:
AVR Butterfly is an evaluation tool demonstrating the capabilities of the
latest AVR Technology. The tool is shipped with preloaded firmware
supporting temperature sensing, light measurement, voltage readings and
music playback. AVR Butterfly can also be used as a nametag. AVR Butterfly
can be reprogrammed from AVR Studio using just a serial cable. This allows
the tool to be used as a development kit for the onboard mega169, or even as
target hardware for simple applications. The bootloader source code is
available in application note AVR109.
Ordering code: ATAVRBFLY

AND it's available fairly cheap from Digi-Key (US$20)

FLY

And as the person who came up with this money saving idea, I think I should
get a free airline ticket to SDIY-UK 2005! ;)


Cheers!
