TI Launchpad MSP430 boards are very cost effective and capable. A genuine
Arduino Uno is around $30 whereas a Launchpad is around $10 bucks. I am
not thinking of moving into industrial electronics William. I am a programmer I love
coding and most of life is what I did to earn a living. Over time as we all do I have managed
to gain a broad spectrum of skill-sets. I like to build things too so that is where Arduino
and Raspberry Pi come in :-)
