me to hook a microcontroller board to me computer via some port and then
transfer a program written on my computer over to it. I found a kit from
Radio Shack that allows it:</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

opinion is a very ugly language, and not really helpful. I’m hoping
to find one that uses either C or Assembly (preferably Assembly, because I don’t
know how to program in assembly yet)</span></font></p>

built, or one with very easy instructions, because I have no idea how to read a
schematic yet. I could learn (it’s on the list of things to do),
but I would prefer to wait, and work with something less expensive my first
time out.</span></font></p>
