This semester I am taking a course in microprocessors. We have been learning Atmel’s AVR 8-bit ISA. (I just finished a report on the differences between ARM and AVR) Check out the brand new kits that the school have been busy assembling: Well it turns out that the manufacturing itself was done in China. I asked. An experimental observation was that the board cannot handle 12V. I write “experimental observation” because I fried the first dev board and had to get it replaced.
