Hello All, We are releasing a new version of MicroHOPE<http://www.expeyes.in/microhope>, a low cost micro-controller development system from the PHOENIX<http://www.iuac.res.in/%7Eelab/phoenix/>project of IUAC <http://www.iuac.res.in>. Micro-controller programming is a part of many science and engineering courses but most of the students are forced depend on kits that require more time understanding the kit rather than the micro-controller. Objective of this work is to provide a simple and easy to use solution that does not hide the uC details inside complex libraries. Programming in C and Assembler are supported, with the help of GCC. Assembler feature is mainly to understand the uC architecture by writing simple programs. The Atmel Atmega32 based kit is affordable and comes with a set of plug-in modules and documented example projects. It has a very simple IDE<http://www.expeyes.in/node/119>that is available on both GNU/Linux and MSWindows <http://www.expeyes.herobo.com/microhope.php>. The details are on the Website <http://www.expeyes.in/microhope>. *Those who are members of other mailing lists and social networking sites are requested to forward this information for maximum reach.* with regards Ajith -- Dr. Ajith Kumar B.P.
