[Gslug-general] Arduino Open-Source Embedded Controller

[Michael_Faraday]

Linux Teachers,



Starting winter quarter Edmonds
Community College will teach embedded systems using the Arduino
Open-Source Embedded Controller (a.k.a. MCU—microcontroller unit). 
Please see



http://www.arduino.cc/



Of course the Linux community offers
open-source IDEs (integrated development environments) for nearly
every MCU in common use.  This allows us to develop many real-time
projects we dreamed of when microprocessors became available in the
1970s, but weren't practical with the pre-Linux tools.  I'm hoping to
be using some of those tools myself in the near future.



Happy computing,



Steven
