Re: Which microcontroller is best for simple 120-220V control?

You guys are really great. You have helped me narrow my search to
either the AVR or MSP430 microcontrollers. As you observed, I am not
constrained by software compatability.

I do have a development environment compatability issue, so I would
like to once again prevail upon you for advice. Currently I use the
following development platform for engineering software,

gcc/g++/gdb
SlickEdit 10 IDE
Red Hat Enterprise 3 Linux
Pentium 4 and Opteron

I would prefer to use this same environment, ideally just adding a tool
or two for embedded software development.

To summarize your development recommendations, thus far you have
commented that AVR Studio is not so good. I hear nice things about
Microsoft Visual Studio, but that would require a change to Windows.

So, which microcontroller is supported by development tools that best
fit my development environment?
