USnooBie Kit - AVR USB Device Dev Kit

[frank26080115]

The USnooBie is a microcontroller kit that does not require any sort of AVR programmer or USB-to-serial converters to load and run compiled code. It's hardware design allows the user to develop low cost USB devices with Atmel's AVR ATmega microcontrollers. It can also be used to develop projects which are not USB devices.

At $16 its a pretty good deal IMO. sure beats a boarduino. My only concern is, can it act like a COM port for serial debugging?

There is a way to program it so that it becomes a serial port, however it takes up a lot of processor time. I don't think doing so would be good in a robotics application.

I designed it to be awesome for USB applications, I think for robotics, it will be great to act as a servo controller and analog input that plugs directly into a netbook.
