I thought this might interest some people on here. You can get a free Cypress PSoC evaluation kit whilst stocks last. I've got the full development kit already but free stuff is always good

It comes with everything you need to play about with two PSoC uCs. The evaluation boards have a little breadboard stuck onto them as well so you can make small projects or devices if you want. You can see the contents here. You can use their PSoC Express software to automatically generate code for your project but also write it in assembler if you want. PSoC Express won't do anything hugely complicated but if you just want a simple controller then it should be good enough.
