Re: Using an Arduino as a robot controller (2010 and beyond?)
Where are the major differences that create the "thousands of dollars" difference between the Arduino and it's IFI (distant, distant) cousin?
lots more inputs and outputs? faster CPU?
(not really asking about the NI controller here cause I understand that's a whole different ball game - ARM CPU, RAM and whatnot...)
