has anyone tried the Embedysy AVR Sprint 2313? (a competitor to the
BX24 and Stamp).

set up as networked sensor controllers using the pin and timer interupts
for
a single pin driving a software uart......
The 2313/8515 are nice chips...very fast...very easy to program..well
supported in assembly/c/basic.
The interrupts available on them makes them fairly flexible.
extremely flexible. At 8MHz, a stamp can outperform a 20MHz pic.
The new 16MHz models should be able to outperform even a 50MHz
Scenix.
Their module looks interesting, though if you can spare the extra
time/resources to implement a resonator and regulator onto
the "target boards", or make a small board of your own, you can save
a lot of money. I currently use the ATSTK500 development board for
testing and development. It comes with 2 midrange AVR's (8515 and
Mega163) which are both 40-pin units. These chips each cost about
$6-10. Keep in mind you will still need a compiler. Their compiler
appears to be a variant of BASCOM-AVR. I use BASCOM for most of my
AVR programming because I have a good amount of experience with
QBASIC, and the two languages are nearly 100% compatible.
I currently build most of my systems with AVR, though I still use
the Stamps. Though the AVR's may have 500x more performance,
there's just nothing like plugging a chip in and having it work
without any soldering. I still think it would be nice to see a
stamp based on the ATMega8. At 16MHz, it's a very speedy chip, and
even has on-chip ADC and resonator, so there's no need to have an
external resonator. Best of all, the MLF version is only 5mm by
5mm, so it could probably even fit on a BS1-size board!
