Re: [DIYbio] Arduino compatibles and piggybacks for real-time

Having watched this thread for awhile, I figured now would be a good time to jump back into the discussion.

Jonathan does make some good points. Inevitably if you do want to scale up your design and potentially market it as a viable alternative to mainstream products then maybe it would be worthwhile to move away from using Arduino and the like.

But as Simon has pointed out, I'm primarily using this because I'd like to do some bio experiments at home that I wouldn't be able to readily do at Uni. I certainly don't have the experience (read: zero experience) nor the intention to scale my design up (though I'll probably document how I made it incase it interests others).

Adding the Arduino definitely adds to the complexity of something that could be much more "simple" in design, but rather than adding to the complexity, the Arduino (using the code already written) actually makes things easier for me. But thats me personally.
