ZBasic Future Outlook

Arduino is getting a boat load of press and several companies released or about to release their 32-bit modules. Any plans for a new ZBasic module in 2011 or soon after? How about a 32-bit device (with 12-bit ADC) that fits on a breadboard?

There is nothing that we can announce at the moment but we are working diligently on some new products and are approaching Beta test time.

Is ARM7 or ARM Cortex/M3 too much of a stretch?

It can be done - we've done some initial work toward that end - but that's not the what we're currently working on.

Can you disclose whether those products are new microcontrollers beyond your current inventory, or new modules, new interface circuits, or an IDE/compiler update? Thanks.

We don't have plans to introduce any new ZX models in the near future. Beyond that, I can say no more.

A lonely road so far.

dbkinzer: Thanks for your response. Whatever you're working on, glad to hear that R&D is going strong. What I find surprising is that sparkfun, robotshop, etc. are missing the zbasic chips. Why is that?

How about a version that runs on Raspberry Pi?
