I am currently using a Motorola 68HC11 series. It uses assemble language, it doesn’t have very much resources, and its old. I used it for class, but I want something maybe a little more...newer. I want something that I can find in a dev kit, uses an actual code language (C maybe), and inexpensive.
What do you people use/like/don’t like?

The C compilers for the 68HC11 that Ive seen are horrible. Its not the assemble language thats troubling me...its the MCU.

it really depends on what you are going to do with the micro. if its fairly basic stuff, then you can use 8 bit micro's, otherwise you need to use much faster and powerful ones like the powerQuicc.
I have only dealt with the intel based 8 bit micro's, and in that type there are several manufacturers like atmel, philips, cygnal, etc.. Keil makes a pretty good C compiler for them too.

I haven't done a whole lot of micro-controlling programming, but from the little experience I do have, pic micro-controllers seemed to be the best thing to try. You can get c - compilers that will allow you to put the program onto the chip. Hope this helps.

How about programming your 68HC11 in C?
The tools are even free. Download gcc for 68HC11.
