I dont have this entire thread handy right now, but my suggestion is the leaf labs maple. www.leaflabs.com

There are other tools that work with the mbed, using the same code. Leon

Seems like a very bad idea. What if you need to make some changes a few years later, and the (original) environment is no longer available ? I'd rather go through the extra effort of installing the tools locally.

mbed (http://mbed.org/) seems to be a good match for you. mbed is based on
the LPC1768 MCU from NXP and is actually smaller than Arduino UNO. The
biggest innovation of mbed is the Cloud-based development environment. The
entire system&mdash;editor, compiler, libraries, and reference materials&mdash;are
completely web-based. There is no software to install or maintain on the
host system.

You asked an interesting question, even though it hadn't occurred to me; I like the leaflab boards too; I'll remember them. I'm a bit down on Arduino for a reason that I mentioned here before -- at least one shield board I find "over-packaged" and inflexible. The Ardumoto board here is working fine: lots of fun walking a stepper motor into resonance failure, and contemplating what a stepper sequencer has to do, but it won't scale beyond one shield per system without some major carving. Sometimes a shield is exactly what I want, and instantly available, and that's great; but given that I will get pushed into board building eventually, I'm just as apt to use STAMP-format boards for proof-of-concept; they're frequently cheaper. Mel.

Thank you - I did use google, but I added shields, peripherals etc. to filter out too many unrelated hits (like "arduino robot arm") and I missed these two. The leaflabs boards look interesting. -- Roberto Waltman
