i have done many circuits with TTL, CMOS, Linear, Analog, Logic, and all that...
I want to learn to program ICs.
i do alot with LED's and automotive Electronics, so i would like to find a beginners kit, that may allow me to use a controller to make flashy, tons-of-LED kinda circuits.
Like scrolling messages, Audio spectrum displays, you know? i like cool blinky things!!! hahaha
anyways, i looked into a ATmega128 for a little while, but im not sure which PIC, Basic stamp, or whatever i should get.
I know how to program with Visual Basic, if that means anything...ill learn C if i have to.
What do you guys think i should get for a beginner (but useful) first Board?
oh, and USB interface is preferrable so i can program with my laptop
