Title: Found a cool platform that I might work with - Should I buy it?
Post by: LXE on September 10, 2010, 07:23:00 AM

I have found a cool board that I might work with. It's called the "Leaf Maple" and is available  at SeeedStudios. The link is right here.

(Sorry, I haven't learnt the Mark up yet, so bear with me)

It's powered with a ARM Cortex M3 running at 72Mhz and I think the programming code is partially Arduino compatible. I could be wrong.

So my question is, should I buy it? The specifications and features are not bad for the price tag.

Its still very in development, so right now it wont be as easy as arduino.

Look at the maple site and see which features are supported, and see if it will work for you.
