I'm looking at the ethernet kit from Imagine Tools and the official
Rabbit kits.
http://imaginetools.com/products/EthernetStarterKit.shtml
http://www.rabbitsemiconductor.com/products/rcm3700/
Looks like a different core's included and different versions of
Dynamic C. What more/less do you get for the difference in price?
Thanks!

I can't say about Ethernet kit, but I got standard non-Ethernet kit
instead
for my son. What I've got?
- RCM3610 with good development board
- DC Lite - limited set of libraries (latest version contains TCP/IP as
well)
- good set of samples for the kit
- all this carries ZW logo and part numbers
The good thing about it is that (most) of the samples are real fun to play
with. One would need some additional stuff (I have paid about $20 more to
get some driver chips and sockets to play with servo examples).
I have had problems with some of the examples as well, but had not delved
deep inside to track problems. My college student will have more that enough
time to chase bugs:)
My $0.02: Well spent $100
HTH, George

Bonjour
My compagny have designed two main boards for RCM3700/RCM3600 and RCM3100
cores.
these boards have RS232 drivers, lithium bat, in/out by relays with
connectors , connector for socket modem, voltage regulator, etc.
Please contact me for precisions , pictures and costs .

I too looked into the two kits. Of course ImagineTools has the better
price.
I would take a close look at the two dev board schematics
if you plan on design projects. I believe Zworld makes most all
module connections available externally while Imaginetools does not.
The Imagine tools would be a great choice for projects that
stay within its limitations. Then the difference is the lite
vs full 'C'.
