Serial or usb interface
boot loader on board a single
chip,
With its own Free source code,
$3 chips to start with
$12 starter boards
128k Flash development code min.
1 hour to get a led flashing , learning it
2 adc/1 dig in w/3 dig out min.
8 pin chip, 40 lines, 1- 4 out
14 pin chip, 40 lines, 5 output
18x pin chip 600 lines, 8 out
28 pin chip, 600 lines
40 pin chip, 600 lines
I have built & used these chips, I rate
picaxe it at a 9+

Basic / C+

Evaluation Boards Comparison |
Arduino
close to C+
It looks like it close
to the boot loader chips as a single chip, With its own Free source code,
close to C+ programming launage, My problem is why deal with this , when
you can just learn C+ & use a blank cheap chip to get started with, its
a Cheaper start cost
design if you want to learn like C+
14k
flash program storage
1k RAM for program memory
6 PWM outputs
6 A/D inputs
UART and SPI interfaces
Hardware interrupts
20 general
purpose I/O pins (shared with
PWM and Analog pins)
16 MHz RISC microcontroller
Open-source hardware, IDE, bootloader
Easy upgrade to more powerful hardware
(Wiring) chip = $5

Atom
Basic
code
It
looks like it close to the Stamp as in cost for the module chip, another stamp
idea, Not Cheap
The
Basic Atom could be just the place to
start, self contained packages, just add a power source (9 Volt Battery)
and a Serial Cable for programming and you are on your way.
