What would be the best embedded HW platform for cool hack ?
this could be discussed for some times here.
But, let me, one more time talk about how nice are Arduino solutions as a building block way of creating your HW/SW hack.
To be completly honest, I only recently decided to look at it, and noticed the progress made compare to the ancient time .
we had to program eprom, mount it on PCB, erase it with UV and more create interface circuit and all protocols to simply upload code on microcontrolers ! (ok this was around 1990 for me)
Here, the device that I would like to present, is the following: Arduino nano v3 – atmega 328
