Arduino is established in the hobbyist market. Then you = have the embedded Linux/Android oriented board like Raspberry Pi. It is just a cheap development tools to get the developers in, just like th= e STM32/STM8 Discovery and other cheap kits from major MCU vendors. Often engineers get free kits. --=20 Xiaofan --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
