You could look at Microchip. The PICs are just the processor itself, so you'll have to wrap the circuit around it, or get one of the "breadboard" kits, but those will be "clunkier" then making the circuit itself. Go to www.microchip.com , and maybe http://www.microchip.com/1010/pline/tools/tparty/index.htm for third party stuff. The cheapest route (other than programming inassembly) is PicBasic, but there are C compilers. anyway If it peaks your interest, i can give you a list of my favorite starting pieces. But i usu do it for work, so i have the luxury of designing a PCBA to plop it in. eric
