I'm glad I stocked up on the MinimusAVRs when I did.
Slippyblade:
I should have bought more at the $5 price point.  I just started teaching my kid how to program the things and I expect her to blow up a couple.  :(

IIRC PJRC doesn't use the Arduino bootloader though I believe he does offer a library for compatibility. The teensy uses a proprietary bootloader (at least on the AVR line) called Halfkay which forces one to use his tools when uploading.

It's an amazing piece of work really. Problem is is that the hex, bin or source is not readily available and he sets his fuse bits to prevent retrieving the binaries. Fair enough, I can play it that way. However, he doesn't like other developers from integrating his communication protocol into their tools. After a bit of research I discovered he has a history of not allowing other developers access to that protocol in their tools. If you want to upload to a Teensy, you need the Teensy tools.

I think he did allow others to use his protocol at one point but he's pulled those permissions. Not sure if any of that changed in recent years. So you might want to look into that.

Based on that, I don't expect the KADE team will be interested in pursuing the Teensy.   :dunno

IMHO it doesn't make sense to pursue an alternate board that is more expensive and more restrictive than what they are using now.

If someone does come up with a way to load KADE hex files onto another board, I'd be happy to add links to a good tutorial and vendors -- especially for the Pro Micro.   ;D

I'm going to purchase 5 - 7 minimus AVRs. I see that there's a 32k version (atmega32u2) and a 16k version (at90usb162). Is the only difference between the two of them the amount of memory? Since both work with Kade is there any benefit to paying more for the 32k version?
