I am curious why the ImageCraft has a logo that indicates "No Dinosaurs".· Does anyone know what this means?

    In terms of time - from the end of the Triassic to the beginning of the Cretaceous ..
    In terms of price - too much ..

    More specifically, that's an Apatosaurus, a plant-eater. I think the message is, "No vegans in this box. Our compilers devour code like a carnivore!" ... Or maybe they're just having a disagreement with Sinclair Oil.

    In all fairness to Richard, the price is competitive with other embedded C dev
    environments. If you are required to use a C toolchain, then by the laws of
    supply and demand alone, it's cheap considering it's the only C choice today.

    I know many vegans in the technology world. At some point, what's in the box
    is what we thought to put there, and thus pieces of us are in the box. Oh well [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    They need to go back to this line of thinking them. Last night I priced their C compiler for AVRs. $249 was the lowest price and that is for a special purpose compiler. I think I'll learn asm.

    If you don't want to spend $250.00 for a C compiler, Dontronics sells Basic and Pascal compilers for the AVR at reasonable prices $100-160.00

    IMS you can download a limited version of the Basic compiler for free.

    Alternatively you check out sourceforge and see if anyone has ported GNU C to the AVR.

    There are several distributions of AVR-GCC mentioned here.
