The
Arduino UNO is a great platform to attract many hobbyists to
learn about microcontrollers. Through
its innovations, the Arduino team has made a great
contribution to the physical computing revolution.
The
Microchip's ChipKIT Uno32 is a great Arduino compatible
prototyping platform. Time
will tell if it ever replaces the Arduino UNO as the new
standard Arduino platform. Regardless, the Arduino spirit
will still stay with us for a long time.
Our
Firebird32 board, a new low cost and high performance 32-bit
development board with some unique designs, offers another
solution for learning embedded programming. Whether you are
a young child in a Parent And Child Team (PACTTM),
or a college freshman without any knowledge of embedded
programming, starting with the StickOS BASIC programming
language will make your learning process so much easier.
When you are serious about advancing to the next level of
embedded programming with C or Assembly language, you will
appreciate the potential of our low cost Firebird32
development system using the CodeWarrior or Code Sorcery
toolchain in more advanced applications.
One of
our goals is to spread the Arduino spirit into both low end
(PACTTM)
and high end (academia) educational markets. We strive to
make our Firebird32 a multi-purpose Arduino Shield
Compatible platform through innovations and join the Arduino
revolution.
Long Live
the Arduino Spirit!
