If you didn't have Arduino?

If you didn't have Arduino,What would you be doing in your spare time?[color=#00ff00][/color]

[AlphaBeta]

Program my computers and play in my band.  

[Onions]

Electronics (without microcontrollers).

[Lilirama1]

I dont know about you but i would be working my butt off to try and make soemthing like it just look how big it is don't you agree?

[AlphaBeta]

Well, if you had said that the Arduino was not available (rather than that it was not in my possession) that would be my immediate thought.  

[Lilirama1]

Does anyone know,Did they have the AtMega chip a logn time before Arduino

[AlphaBeta]

30 second research led me to a source that said that the AVRs was developmed in 1996, so I guess the answer is yes.

[Lilirama1]

Ya it Would be the first thing I did but I would publish it under a licence that payed royalties what kind is that

[GrooveFlotilla]

MakerMann, tell me, what proportion of Atmel's sales of AVRs do you think Arduino represents?

[Lilirama1]

Why the **** are you stalking me around.Do you want to look like a troll if so continue.

[AlphaBeta]

Would you make a proprietary Arduino? I think you should keep that to yourself if so.
Secondly, there are no trolls on this forum. If you want to hunt trolls feel free to window.location = 4chan.org

Let's get back on topic?

[Lilirama1]

Ok I dont want to open up a dif. topic so post along side your answer for the 1st topic.
How would you improve it,If you made your own?

[AlphaBeta]

As I'm not as invested in electronics and hardware as I am in software, I would work on the IDE quite a bit. Make it easier to develop for the processor.

[GrooveFlotilla]

Stalking?
I think you flatter yourself.

I'm just trying to ask a civil question about how large a market the Arduino represents, relative to Atmel.
Look at the OOPIC, and how much that made for its developer.
This is, after all, the bar, where grown ups go to discuss things and put the world to right.

Give me a second to regain my sense on give a s***
