OpCUBE project.
Real world programming things.

[ Announcement ]

Welcome to next phase of OpCUBE Project.

Point to next generation of Programmable material concept and applications..

named "Physical Computing".

Since the first times, 2003 Summer, I'd published MIDE-51 software package on web with ASEM-51 Assemmbler tools for MCS-51 beginner , and support SDCC - C language compiler on year later..

MCS-51 is good MCU to learn and use, easy to getting start to build your own system on past years time. But now, we have many microcontroller available on market. New generation MCU had much more advantage features than old MCS-51 , e.g. Microchip's PIC / dsPIC, Atmel AVR / AVR32 thru high-end ARM base MCU.

Good developer need to learn and made comparison each others MCU, on the advantage/disadvantage feature need on new design, or old project improvement..

Amoung of them,Atmel's AVR is most interesting chip, with modern 8-bit RISC MCU and rich I/O performance in less $ price. With tons of document available on web since simple D.I.Y. hardware project to complex system design. Also several software support since commercial tools for best code optimization or open-source AVR-GCC also work great with no cost..

AVR becomes the value choice for implement "Physical Computing" idea.
The proposal of "physical Computing " is made for interaction of hardware control "the real world" with easy softeware programming.

That's why AVR section added here.. and others MCU may be posted on next the proper time..

Have fun...
