Hi-

Let me start by warning you that I am a complete amature. Anyways, I recently aquired an AT89C52 and am hoping to use it to control three motors via a standard h-bridge, a couple of lights, some LEDs, and maybe a speaker. This circuit needs to be light weight and have a small footprint, as well as being as cheap as possible. So my question: is there a way that I could create my own board that I can both program on and install in my system (as it will be difficult to remove the chip after it is in place)? On the board I was hoping to have nothing more than an RS232 connector, a battery connector, reset switch, and the various components mentioned above. I realize that this is probably both a hardware and a software issue, but if you could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for your time if you made it this far. :-)
