Hi Everyone,
This post is somewhat intended to help me understand what makes the (very expensive) IFI and NI controllers superior (are they?) to the (very cheap) Arduino and it's family.
I have recently been introduced to the
Arduino through the
RepRap Project that i'm working on (<-- check it out!) and it seems to me that it has great potential as a cheap robot controller (which in fact is one of the major uses it is put to by hobbyists).
But before I can go out and propose that in 2010, when a 2009 rookie needs a controller for their 2009 robot for demonstrations, they can use an Arduino... I need to know if it will work!
(So for argument's sake let's just say I am proposing this, and you can explain why it won't work
)
So if anyone is willing to give me a hand here with a short microcontroller primer, i'll be very grateful!
Thanks!

p.s.
Don't you think grateful is spelled in an odd way? "greatful" would have made more sense to me
