    PHP was the handiest thing. I hadn't gotten python, perl or ruby set up on this new notebook yet.

    I think there are basic compilers available for the stm32 (surely at least Cortex m3/m4 in general).

    I know rowley makes butterfly basic for the 430.

    I still think c is ideal for microcontrollers, or for hardware level coding in general. Assembly is more ideal, except that it's such a pain to develop in.

    I taught myself ASM on the C64, but that... was many moons ago! Im not willing to revisit the black art, but it is about the fastest way to execute code known to man!

    I am an ME, not an EE, so I haven't done anything with microcontrollers. However, that might all change soon. It looks like we will get funding for a project that will need one. Since I will be one of the lead engineers, I will either have to find someone who can do it for me, or do it myself. Right now I have been looking at arduinos. I think one will help me with other projects as well, for DAQ.

    Of course, for home use, I have been salivating over the new Rasberry Pi. I want to make an HTPC out of one, as well as set one up for my kids to just mess with.

    The R/PI has a 20 minute boot time, ha ha! Well, almost.. Its an attractive device though, Id probably leave it booted 24/7 if it were me....

    If you think the RasPi is sexy, check out Gumstix.

    As the arduino platform goes, I've never touched them. I probably never will, unless I find myself required to. the AVRs never really appealed to me anyway. Woldn't be hard to pick up though, and I suppose It's popularity does present a nice surface area of existing code-base to play with.

    The rasberry pi costs $35. The Gumstix is much more. I kinda like the whole thought process behind the pi. It is meant to give kids a computer that they can mess around with the code. Getting one for my kids, and letting them mess with it is one of my goals for it's use.

    Ive messed with PHP and Perl, both are really good... I tend to like PHP better.

    Then, I messed with ASP and it opened up a lot of doors for me, mostly because I could program in BASIC, which I was already fluent in.

    Lastly, I moved to ASP.NET, and it is great! Like ASP with steroids!

    I may get a PI just to play with, but I would have to get one that is pre loaded with NIX else it will sit there collecting dust due to my lack of ability to load an OS for it! HA HA!

    Take care all,
    Andrew

    The gumstix is much more, but it's also tiny, and awesome in just about every way.

    I want a raspi too. I just plain want a bunch of stuff I don't really need.

    Putting a full linux distro on the raspi can't be all that hard if I managed to get one running on my wifi router

    Sorry about the project stalling, I'll be back at it soon, and will have updates as soon as I get the clinomtry nailed down a little. The L3GD20 is taking me a bit of work to figure out.
