Development Boards


The 68HC11 is probably more popular as a programming trainer than virtually any other

MCU on the market.  The popularity in the use of robotics projects has been elevated with

the Handy board developed by the MIT media lab. 

   The Handy Board is a open source development project for robotics study and development.  It supports control for up to four separate motors.    Numerous examples are available on the web of university based coursework using this board in particular and far more using the 68HC11 in general.

 

Here are just a few more development board examples:

68HC11: FOX11TM Trainer   $99

This is a pretty cheap all around trainer with built in breadboarding capabilities.

MC9S12:  DRAGON12 Development Board   $139

The RF antennae are an add-on to this board but does include the piezo speaker, seven-segment display and LCD support.  There are push buttons on the board for input and interrupt handling training. There are quite a few possibilities with this board.
