I onder why so many still bother with 8bit thingies, when stuff like this is available dirt cheap - and this parcitular line now even in clunky SO package ;) Btw, that huge, blue devkit PCB mostly has a debugger on it, the actual MCU to develop on is on the little breakout part to the left.<br class="">

I gotta say I agree with Gordon here. It's a perfect job for a low-end 8-bit micro.</div>
