Kronos Microcontrollers

[kronosmicros]

We are the new exclusive worldwide distributors of the Kronos line of microcontrollers. These high quality chips had a relatively high price. That has changed dramatically. Please, visit our website www.advancedmicrocircuits.com and check our prices. You will be pleasantly surprised. For example, the flagship of the line, the DiosPro28, has gone from $32.00 down to $10.50! We are also in the process of stocking good boards around the Kronos chips.

With best regards

Cool products, site kind of sucks navigation wise. I was interested in the new 08m usb board but it took me 5 minutes to find it on the store

Hehe, Athena, Perseus and Nemesis were my first microcontrollers! Why? because the basic language was available for free compared to the Pbasic that I had to buy to be able to program the PICs and also they have a bootloader so there was no need for an expensive hardware programmer. True, the price per chip was rather expensive at $13 for the Nemesis, but I was saving about $200. For a project or two it seemed a more reasonable choice. Dios and DiosPro are more powerful and suitable for advanced applications. They are good micros for beginners that don't want to shed the big bucks for a BasicStamp, however, I think they are a bit obsolete. Out of everything on the market, I would say Arduino is the best choice  for beginners or even advanced users.
