Arduino starter kits

[Andre Kesteloot]

Alberto,

 What you propose is interesting, but Arduino has many advantage when used
as a dedicated state- engine: it does what you told it to do, and nothing
else, and therefore does not waste cycles to perform maintenance tasks,
because it does have an operating system such as Linux.

Both, it seems to me, have a place in ham radio applications.
