Microcomputers for Educational Institutions

ANU_Micro — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 14:18:26 GMT

Greetings,

I have been contracted to research quality microcontroller developement packages for Africa Nazarene University (ANU) outside of Nairobi, Kenya. I am familiar with more advanced (ie. expensive) systems like the Motorola HSC12 or Rabbit Powerboard developement boards, but the need here at ANU is for a more accessible and inexpensive system.

Are there any programs for promoting microcomputing in education through Freescale? If not, can you point me in the rigth direction for other companies? I have already looked into the various PIC models from Microchip, but I want to research thoroughly.

Regards

Dear Jonathan,

Pls feel free to contact me if you need free support regarding low end freescale microcontrollers.

I'm located in Brazil, so I am used to low budgets.

My spare time is very limited, but I've been in Africa and I'd like to help.

Cheers,

Celso
