A bit of digression never hurts, I suspect that most Arduino enthusiasts will also be very interested in the RasPi project as well. Raspberry Pi is a very small 'real' computer destined for the educational market. However, the initial release of ten thousand, due tomorrow, is aimed at developers and people like us. The major attraction is the size, about the same as a credit card only thicker, and the price, currently set at about $35.00. The attraction to us will be the possibility of interfacing the little board to Arduino projects in such a way that the whole electronics unit is inside the robot or whatever. Imagine a number of individual servers running on Arduinos being managed by a RasPi with keyboard and mouse on a Bluetooth link. Or maybe a robot with all the articulation and protection automated but being steered by a master brain called RasPi.
