Thanks very much for that.<br>
The coupon sure worked for me, and one is on its way.<br>
<br>
Any chance you can send me a private email
m(dot)beckett(AT)amuri(dot)net re schematic for one of your earlier
boards.<br>
<br>
Cheers and get ordering people<br>

<pre wrap="">Not sure if applies to NZ shipping - but might work if anyone is inteersted.
FREE shipping coupon for the new chipKIT(tm) platform on microchipDIRECT.com,
Enter code CHIPKIT; offer runs through June 30th, 2011.
Propeller does not have a Arduino Platform and use the Wired language,
which is what this thread was more about.
Also not commercially viable, Lacking in memory ranges, peripherals
(yes many can be simulated using a cog) and other general thing
expected for commercial devices and really expensive in volume, and
small high risk company.
But make really nice hobbyist parts and is a really cool device.

It can run on the Papilio One board

US$50).
If you find that you don't like the ZPU, an AVR based core is also
available for upload to the board, converting it back to a standard
Arduino.

Note: Arduino is a open hardware and software platform that was not
supposed to be processor specific.... but no one has really put the
effort in until now to use any other processor until now.
In the past many have made hardware that can take the Arduino shields,
but never ported the wired language and the Arduino GUI.
