Re: How important is Linux?

Moving from a microcontroller to a computer with an OS certainly has merit.

We just want to make sure that it doesn't take rocket science to interface to the hardware for those that have custom or unique sensors or controls.

If the OS had the i/o support and built in telemetry and safety stuff then things can get real straightforward is all you have to do is drop an app inside.
