Arduino(ATmega8) development board/ide
http://www.arduino.cc/
open-source physical computing platform based on a simple i/o board, and
a development environment for writing Arduino software.
Arduino programming language is an implementation of Wiring(
http://wiring.org.co/
), itself built on Processing.
The Arduino board is a cheap (roughly 30euros/board, fully assembled), robust i/o board based on the AMTEL ATmega8
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/product_card.asp?part_id=2004
.
It has
13 digital pins (3 of which allow PWM output)
6 analog inputs
USB and serial versions boards / pcb schematics available.
Can be interfaced from osx, windows and linux
