Your previous mention of those mini arduino boards was the first thing I thought of
when the argument over arduinos broke out. And I also had thought it was straight C
under the sketches layer of arduino... thanks for educating us non-experts on arduinos.

Ooohh... this sounds shiny and cool -- arduino coding method running on MSP430 ultra low power
MCUs: http://energia.nu/ "The framework is powered by TI-RTOS letting you run your Sketches in parallel."

I need to browse those libraries of debugged code!

Any pointers on which collections are "best"?
