I know ATMega, WinAVR, and C was used in the $50 tutorial but the overall popularity of the Arduino environment is enticing.
[...] free samples I've never bought one, and yet I have more than I need.*Serious note*: Do not abuse free sample providers! Be sensible.
One might argue, that getting free samples, with no intent whatsoever to buy anything, should the samples work out good, is abuse."Being sensible" is when you only get samples of something that you honestly need to try out for fits.
But then again the next time he gets a micro he'll probably buy one he has experience with such as PIC.
Plus he just advertised for them.
But anyways, I'm a big fan of the Atmega series of microcontrollers. I use an Arduino to prototype and tests concepts, and then use the basic Atmega chip for the final product.
