M16C TinyBrick

Programmable in BASIC

Published in issue 387, March 2009

M16C TinyBrick

A TinyBrick is a small self-contained microcontroller module fitted with a powerful Renesas 16-bit M16C microcontroller. A BASIC interpreter is installed in the module to simplify software development. Beginners will find it an ideal starting out point while more experienced users will appreciate its power and convenience. An evaluation board is introduced here; together with a TinyBrick we build an intruder alarm that sends SMS texts.
