Arduino

The projects on this blog use an Arduino single-board microcontroller platform and development environment.

I'm using a Duemilanove board with an ATmega328 chip.

Cost: $30 (eBay)



You can connect this board into a computer with a USB cable, download the dev software, and begin working on projects immediately. You don't have to worry about soldering components, building a chip programmer/UART hardware, power supply, etc. You can program in C and assembly in the integrated development environment, and can write code and run it on the board from one place. Also, it's cheap and it's open source!
