Hello Dave,

I know the Xino Atmel of Ciseco in the UK. But, we a Authorized Microchip Design Partner, so we stay by the PICmicro's :-) And I can tell you, there is a lot news in the World of the PICs... Android Shields to controll your application (robotics) by cell phones, the Uno32 and Max32 based on Arduino but with the PIC32xx.

Some things we test and make, see www.picshop.nl

Oh, I use for up to 10 years PBP, so this is for us the best choice in BASIC.

Regards,
Gevo
