microcontrollers. Due to the numerous varieties available in the

There are many kits because there are many different types of
microcontrollers from a multitude of manufacturers. The intended
application, your current expertise, and some other factors such as how
you want to craft the additional circuitry that you may want to add to
the DEV board will determine what you end up purchasing.

I happen to recommend the Dev Kits that you can get from SiLabs. These
are low cost, come with super nice code debug support and include a CD
with a OEM version of the Keil 8051 tool set that lets you make small
test and experiment programs without having to also first buy an
expensive tool set. You can see some applications ideas around using
these kits at:
