Microcontroller Development

First: tell your web designer not to place white writing over partially white pictures (well any writing over any pictures really).

Second: under the shopping cart there is no indication of how much a development system, and, production quantities is going to cost.

For a product like this it is essential that people can buy a development system at a reasonable price without any danger of inviting the attention of sales E-Mails or phone calls.

Thank you for your comments. We have not seen the website where white text is over a white image. I am assuming the text your are talking about is on the home page over the silver of the BB.30 background image?

Do you mind telling me what is typically in a development package? We have been sending demos out with a power supply and serial port connection with optional USB, WiFi, or Ethernet connections. Instructions and software are all available online with purchase. Is there more we should include?

We are new to this process: sending out development packs. As opposed to traditional sales and/or using the product in our own mfg. process.

Thanks again.

Hmmm strange:- I use enigma as my default browser (it's very similar to IE but much faster) These screen captures are in IE.

The same pages look great in Firefox and chrome: so I'm inclined to forgive the web site creator a bit, but, you should get him to fix it. What do most people use?

Is there a de-bugging interface on the module? if you can program and debug via the serial or USB cables then I guess you don't need any thing else in a dev. kit.

Thanks. I will send the screen captures along to the web designer. And I will get a price worked up for a dev kit and post. You've been a great help. Thank you.

YEAH!! Looking at the pictures in #3... If I were to come across that on a web site, I would X out of it. My time is too valuable to try and determine what they are saying no matter how interested I am in the product.

So you have a uC. What I need is an integrated development system where I can write the code on my PC (either in Assembly or C or both)... debug it on the PC... and load it into the controller (Probably through the USB port).

Meanwhile... back at the ranch... (had to run an errand).

Your web page came up quite legible on AOL.

How does your uC communicate with the host computer? I am not even sure if this Dell in front of me even has a serial port. I would use USB personally.

Another thought is the capability to drive an LCD.

From your web page, I have the impression that you have analog in, but not analog out. You might want to look at that.

I would take a look at Microchip and their PIC series of uControllers. It seems like they have them for just about any purpose. Also look at their PICKits for development hardware ideas.

Good luck...

Bill
