Microcontrollers

I’m currently using two microcontroller platforms: the Arduino and Leaflabs Maple. Both have open source tool chains, active user communities and moderately priced. Both platforms also fully support Linux and Mac OS X.

How to choose a MicroController via [Make]

• ARM Cortex M-3/STM:
  • Leaflabs Maple
  • STM32VLDISCOVERY, an evaluation board for around 12 bucks
