Hi,

    I know most of this is just fun :-)

    But I thing it is a nice time to bring a important subject to 
discussion... We are not talking about something that is going to be mass 
produced so the cost of the parts, specially the electronics, is not 
important for that project... What costs real money, assuming time is money, 
is the development time spent.. In that aspect using a bigger CPU will make 
the project cheaper.... Going to a 32 bits usually makes the tools harder to 
use so a AVR or a 16 bit cpu like the DsPic makes sense..

Best regards,
Alexandre Guimaraes
