i do like the amtel / arm chips , pricing is good, many pre made boards with easy ways to incorporate into projects , but Arduino C seams like a road i will have to learn if i am to uses these chips/ although mickobasic may be an option as well ,
, but so far from whats been said , the compile size for something simple is high/ compared with PBP and it seems bloated for simple projects , larger ones , may be not as much ?
