Mignonette Kit V2.0

Bought this kit at Electronics Workshop with Mitch Altman and Jimmie P Rodgers Post

What is a microcontroller?

A microcontroller is a complete computer on a single chip. It can be programmed, much like a real computer. However, microcontrollers are much smaller than a real computer, in terms of the size of the program or the amount of memory. And the best part is they are much cheaper too! So, there is no mouse, keyboard, or disk drive. Instead, simple input and output simple devices, like switches, LEDs, or even a speaker, can be connected to a microcontroller. With one microcontroller and a handful of these simple devices, lots of really cool things are possible! Read More

Did not get a change to make it so thought would give it a go on my own. I do not claim to know much so please correct if I have something in wrong way or up side down.

The mignonette kit is meant to be a DIY handheld gaming system, much like the Meggy Jr. RGB kit. It has four buttons, and can be programmed with new games very easily. It is meant to be an introduction to soldering and programming. It has a bi-color LED display, so it's really not much to look at. Very cool though.

I bought one of these when he came down to Birmingham.
