[1] Is MicroTRAK/908 a good tool to learn about microcontrollers and/or assembly language ?

Yes, absolutely! Using the built-in assembler of Micro C 68HC08 Development System combined with our low-cost 68HC08 Simulator option ( free with limited code size ),you can single step through assembly or mixed C/assembly code, look at register values, watch memory locations and set breakpoints. <br><br>As each assembly instruction is executed, you can examine the register values and immediately see the results of the operation. You can also see all port activity using the LED's on the real hardware. You can force ports to logic 0 or logic 1 levels using DIP switches. This hands-on process allows the beginners to get up to speed with microcontrollers fast.
