anyone using these?

what kind of code does it use can we see some code samples?

I bought one of these but haven't had time to spin it up yet. The specs looked good and it's a nice small package. I'll be using BascomAVR to convince it to do what I want it to. As has been already pointed out, it's an atmel processor so there is tons of potential.

Am I correct to supose that BASCOM means basic compiler?

ifso this is great news keep us posted of any findings in the project I realy want to know more, from what I have already seen I may purchase a couple of them but I want to see how difficult the code goes first..

when you start your project post something about it and I will follow up

You are correct. BascomAVR is a basic compiler for Atmel processors. Much like any other basic. I liked that it has built in functions for some things like 1Wire, SPI, servos and other things. There were some free basic compilers available, when I researched this, that would work but I had (have) grandiose future plans ;)

This is a standard atmel48 chip which can use c or assembly. I'd suggest going to avrfreaks for examples of source or you could also check out the datasheet on this chip. They usually have source examples for both c and asm.

Looks to be a cool setup with the motor driver already built on.  :)
