I'm looking for (cheap) easy programable little pcb-microprocessor

[Michel]

Thanks for reading this. I would like to find a small all-in
microprocessor which I could easialy program with a PC using the
serialport. Would love to use just basic and have just 1 IC with
build-in clock, I/O and maybe even a A/D converter and beeper-output.

With this I like to make small things like a timer, alarm,
doorcodelock,...

Can you advice me where to start and if it is cheap and easy to build
the programmer, where to find the needed pc-software,...

Thanks!!!

no mail please

Maybe Microchip's PIC would be interesting to you. There's several
variations and they are available from DigiKey.

Sounds like a basic-stamp.

Take a look at the Picaxe. http://www.phanderson.com/picaxe/picaxe.html

More information is available via Google.

Do you have a Fry's in your town?

The Atmel ATMega series -- best bang per buck you can get IMHO.

In particular, the ATMega128 has more I/O options than you can poke a stick
at, runs at 16MHz from an internal oscillator, and gets around 12-16MIPS at
that speed. Free assembler and C development tools, uses in-circuit
programmable flash memory which requires very basic programmers (schematics
abound on the net). $15 at Digikey.

Check out www.atmel.com, and www.avrfreaks.org.

Jaye.

BASIC STAMP, of course.
