Renesas 3687 Tiny Series Starter Kit

Designed and Built by Basic Micro

 

Develop in BASIC

Ships with two samples of the
3664 device (64-pin SDIP)

The new Renesas 3687 Tiny Series Starter Kit provides contest participants with the easiest starting point for projects requiring a high- end, 16-bit microcontroller at an 8-bit cost. The starter kit contains the hardware and software required to get you up and running using the Renesas tools or the Basic Micro tools.

 

With the Renesas tools you can develop using C, C++, or assembly.  The included software is fully functional providing a complete IDE with compiler, assembler, make utility, and debugging environment.

With the Basic Micro tools, called MBasic, you can develop using industry standard BASIC. (MBasic also supports developing in GNU assembly, GNU C, and GNU C++.)  Write, compile, program, and test your code with the click of a button, all from one Windows application!  Debug your code with the in circuit debugger plus get the best support available!
