The UNO costs something like 6 dollar shipped, the PIC costs 4-5 dollar, so for 11-12 dollar you have a more powerfull platform including USB UART, voltage regulators, reset circuit, headers. Cheaper than the (more powerfull) CircuitGizmo's Arduino outline micromite platform (29.99 dollar ex shipping...and TAX**).. ** I ordered a CGCOLORMAX2 from them, and got a bill from our dutch government that I should pay additional 26 euro's (some 35 dollar) TAX on it. They even taxed the shipping cost. And no way to get past that, they would simply not give you the colormax. That was a bummer... Edited by Volhout 2018-05-31 PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS
