Derek, sorry if me post seamed to harsh or stupid :) iwas only trying to say that you should use the 168 or 328 atmegas. If they don't have a programmer, I found somewhere on the net, that is possible to programm the atmegas using the arduino board. With little modification,
Sorry again, I didn't wanted to be rude.

Hi Derek,

As you said institutions have their own way of operating when it comes to upgrading their existing devices, which might even take ages for a single chip changes, I always find it handy to ask the available equipments list beforehand for the workshop. I have been using those Arduino boards since 2006 here in my workshops and courses, and each time we made them work fine based on the student project needs. Last time it was October 2009, without spending more than 15min :), they functioned well with Firmata-2.1beta5, not with StandardFirmata, but the other analog, servo, and simpledigital, and we had three student projects done with sensors+arduino+pduino at the end of the workshop.

and yes, we should mention that ATMEGA8 is not good with StandardFirmata,

see you tomorrow ;)

Koray.
