this is what i would call a LuaOS. and a Lua computer too....
still haven't seen the schematics, but is the propeller-based VGA
output a device from the point of view of the STM?
Yes, the STM feeds data to the propeller on a SPI interface.
if so, i'd love to
use something like this to seed controllers everywhere, just with
ethernet and discreet I/O, no display, except for the 'main
controller' unit (until i get an android tablet for that)
It's a perfectly good use case.
prepare yourself to sell kits!
I'm still far away from that, but I'd love to do it at some point. It depends on the feedback I get.
this reminds me of a couple of guys that used to sell computers as a
bag of parts. but when got a big order of assembled units, one of them
had to sell his volkswagen van to finance and finally get out of the
garage. they also chose a low-power chip because it was cheaper than
the current favorite. has anybody heard of them recently?
I think I might have heard of them, but don't tell this story to your future Android tablet :)
Best,
Bogdan
