Re: The Supertester

At this point we are not really looking at any other processor options. We chose the Atmega chip because so many hobbyists are familiar with the Arduino which uses the same chip. Many students would have easy access to the tools needed to modify or extend the capabilities of this tester themselves. There is a lot of Arduino expertise out there that we leveraged to build this tester, and other teams could leverage to modify it.

If this version is successful we might do another product in the future that has more capabilities. If so we can consider other target processors at that time. But for now, what you see is what you get.
