Just thought of another one:
- .net micro framework based prototyping board. go!bus on one side, usb (for programming), neduino chip and all the pins broken out to 0.1 pitch headers.
That would help electronic noobs like me - perhaps this is what the shield base is really for?
You can run .net mf on the STM Discoveryboard, I couldn't find the link again,and I'm still waiting for my boards, but that would help a bit.
And with things like this:
http://www.proto-adv...IDC_Adapter.php
you can hook up your n!go to an breadboard for playing with the bus.
protoadvantage even have an service where you can order and adapter, on which they solder the chip of your choice, like this:

So you can stick an stm8 or something into your breadboard.
NOTE: That link is an random link I picked, but someone on the forum here did point to an correct one.
