Interesting, never heard of it under my rock !
Looking at the specs[^], I wonder how a .NET framework can be an operating system though. Do you own one by chance ?

Yes, I've got all three. I had a rant about the Netduino here http://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?fid=1159&select=4806864&fr=3751#xx0xx[^]
I bought the PI when it came out, plugged into the TV and then put in a box where it remains. I'm building a Segway type self-balancing thing for fun and need something to read data from the IMU and drive the wheels. I was excited by the prospect of the Netduino for this but it became apparent it just wasn't up to the job (or pretty much any job really). So Arduino it is, even though its a lot lower spec it can do realtime, and only costing $15 helps, especially as the first one went up in smoke on an accidental 12v/5v mix up.

Rob Philpott.

Well there was a lot of chatter at the end of last year saying arrival about now (April-May). Things have gone very quiet.

It says "Spring 2014". I'm guessing just buying a BBB might be better until it arrives!

I am very busy with a cluster elephant of a project at the moment, I did look at the article yesterday and have both Pi's and Arduinos, came pretty to your conclusion, both do similar things but, the Pi is a
not really suitable for fast/real time processing as it runs Linux, the Arduino can do fast, but you need to know which is the hot end of a soldering iron!. It's a form of are if you a Hardware guy go for the Arduino for the solution, if you are a Softie (flame suit on!  ) go for the Pi. I have built a motor controller using the Arduino which I aim to connect via Serial/GPIO to a Pi to create a Robot (just need the time!)....

I think we more or less got that by now

This smells like an article. PID-control ? or no control loop ?

At the moment no control loop, purely digital (On, Off) was thinking about the PWM pin though. To me PWM control is something of a black art, I use it adjust some numbers and it works (I tend to work in the RF field)!

It depends a lot on the application you wouldn't use the Pi to do simpler projects that don't need the power of the Pi

Fortunately, I have never been forced to sit through that pile of steaming cow dung pretending to be a movie.
So I have no idea that David Bowie acted badly throughout, or that the script was written by two pet monkeys on an off day.
Or until now I thought that. Because I had managed to seal off those memories behind a veil of alcoholic fumes.
A veil that you tore - roughly and uncaringly - away from my mind and exposed me to the true horror: I did have to watch that. Twice. Because Herself liked it.

nice try, but you can just admit you liked it. It's OK, we're all friends here. You can come out of the closet now.
