Re: [DIYbio] Re: DIY Turbidostat

If we're talking embedded stuff that runs python or-what-have-you, I'll
just plug Raspberry Pi's spiritual successor*, "Black Swift":

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1133560316/black-swift-tiny-wireless-computer

..unlike the Pi, it's fully open source, around SD-card sized, and has
onboard wifi. Plus, one microUSB-host for a peripheral (or hub?), power
line-in through microUSB, and runs OpenWRT: the "standard" in embedded
linux for home projects for years prior to Raspbian.

It's also cheap, beautiful, and has charismatic russian designers. :)

*dearly needed now that they're going Windows-by-default and still never
released bootloader blob source code: RIP Raspberry Pi idealism
