A couple of days ago, I was watching a TV programme about space exploration, one of the sections was about the design of living accommodation modules. It showed the work at Airbus Industries in Bremen, Germany, who actually build satellites but have been charged by ESA/NASA to design modules to be used on the Moon, Mars & beyond (Buzz Lightyear).

An engineer working on the project was being interviewed and lying on the workbench next to him was, you've guessed it, an Arduino Uno with a sensor!

Bill, consider that in terms of the future of DB1, or Mandy could possibly send ERIC. ?

I must admit that I'm starting to consider just using multiple Arduino's on my own robotics project.  Their almost instant-on capability, huge support and low cost are all virtues not to be ignored.  The more I develop for these devices (almost 3 years now) the more I feel they can deliver whatever I may need by way of "intelligence".

Unless you need high speed or heavy calculations, Arduinos provide very good performance. I like them very much, especially the micro pro 3.3 or 5 volts versions.

Yes, and if speed really is an issue you can always go to the STM32 or even the ESP32 - Speed problem solved while still retaining the other virtues!  Plenty of computational power at 72/240 Mhz respectively.

Here's an interesting link on the STM32 if anyone is interested -

The STM32 looks very promising.

I intend to try it out in the near future.

In my opinion the Arduinos will replace ICs in the future.
