Hi there,
I'm looking inro microcontrollers for my college project. How ever I'm pretty stuck on what sort of microcontroller to begin with! I've only a small budget of £25 and thats to include other components aswell as the microcontroller.

I've experience in some Assembly,C++ and some BASIC. So basically I'm looking into a microcontroller that can be programmed easily by BASIC or assembly?
A few beginners tutorials would be handy too.

Would PicBasic be suitable for my needs? I intend to gradually make a small,simple functioned robot that perhaps follows a line, senses obstacles etc etc

Any general push in the right direction will be greatly appreicated
Many thanks
Matt
