  • Upcomming review

    I will be testing and  reviewing the Atmel  ATXMEGAB1-XPLD  evaluation kit in the next few weeks.

    I will be looking at how responsive the board itself is, how useable the IDE is and how it holds up  to extreme temperatures being in southern Canada  we get nice cold temperatures in the winter and up to 40ºC in the summer  😀
