Wire-wrapping your own board is about the same (US$30-50) in cost as buying that NMIY-0031 board, which has lots of features.

Which?

You'll have to visit their site,

http://www.newmicros.com/

for a list of all the available peripherals. They're off-board, of course, but connectors are provided for them.

The $100 SiLabs board has fewer "features," but much more MCU.
which do you miss?


I know the SiLabs board has that DIN41612 connector for some sort of expansion, but they won't even tell me the gender of the connector, though I've asked 'em several times. That's one thing that's kept me from buying one of the things for my own trial.

What I miss is having a selection of peripheral devices that can be attached or not.

I often prefer to buy rather than build when I know what's needed and when it's available (seldom). Also, I need it to be reusable. I don't know that there are any useful external gadgets available for the SiLabs board.

I do know that their A/D is too slow for anything I've considered so far. I need a minimum of 40 MSamples/second and 250 would be better. That's why an external device would be preferable. That way YOU wouldn't have to buy it just so I could have it.

               Please explain one by one what you need to do.            01/01/70 00:00

   I do not know what you imply by "low cost"            01/01/70 00:00      
      for "home" and hobby use, though...            01/01/70 00:00      
         WHY?            01/01/70 00:00      
            hobby...            01/01/70 00:00

                     We once had a selection of shops ...            01/01/70 00:00      
      $99 is no low cost            01/01/70 00:00      
         low cost is a relative term            01/01/70 00:00      
            Everything in this world is relative            01/01/70 00:00      
               many hobbyist use SILabs devboards            01/01/70 00:00      
                  many hobbyist use SILabs devboards            01/01/70 00:00      
                     check with Mouser            01/01/70 00:00

                  It's not rocket science            01/01/70 00:00      
                     what about the cost            01/01/70 00:00      
                        that can vary widely            01/01/70 00:00      
                           which?            01/01/70 00:00      
                              look at the available peripherals            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 last you raised this issue            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    that\'s only half the story            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       The connector on the SiLabs boards is female            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          to some people, that's ambiguous            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             Stop yapping and start reading!            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                When I ask the question ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       Why do you even care            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          I care because it has to work.            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             I knew I had one laying around            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                That is not how I see it            01/01/70 00:00
