How do they stack up against ATMEL's other microcontrollers?
How do they compare to other brands?
And most important: How much do they cost?
Thanks! |
take a look at
http://www.avrfreaks.net
just about all the questions you ask are answered there ,
cost wise not too bad either
one aspect i like is the compatability if you write code for a lower spec it will work with little change all the way up ,
i prefer to code in C so i use the winavr compiler which is well supported and free !
