microjs on a breadboard The freescale S08JS series is one of the lowest cost microcontrollers with a hardware USB implementation. The availability of free C development tools (SDCC and Codewarrior) make the S08JS a great candidate to develop all sorts of inexpensive USB gadgets. microJS is a fully functional S08JS minimal system on a PCB less than a square inch. The board headers can be plugged into a breadboard for prototyping or soldered to another PCB for a permanent placement.

Freescale DEMOJS demo board is a great tool for evaluating the features of the S08JS MCU. However its price (~80USD) is too high for the average starving hacker like the members of our staff. Inspired by ultra low cost development systems from other vendors we developed microjs.
