I took a look at the MegasquirtAVR, and have emailed regarding buying a 
component build kit, and have sent off a message to Atmel asking for a few 
samples (we'll see if they send them) Overall, it looks quite good to me. I 
like the flexibility, and support. Is there anywhere where i can buy the pcb 
without having to wait for the next group buy?? Anyone??
