As I posted earlier, I have already been using the Neo1973 as a main CPU for my solar powered robotic boat. I am using it with Phidget controllers which are USB based. Phidgets have API's for C#, C, Java and Python. I'm using the Python API. The Neo is an ideal robotics platform with communications and navigation built in.<br>
<br>I'm looking forward to the FreeRunner because I will be able to power the device directly off a 5v supply. Ideally I want to be able to shut down and restart the Neo using a timer or other interrupt based approach. This way the Neo can be shut down if there is low battery, and restarted when the solar panels charge the battery sufficiently. Currently I can't do this with the Neo1973 - which is a limitation.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Sorry to be a little OT<br>
<br>
but It looks like a dream<br>
FreeRunner board as a robotic platform for < $100<br>
<br>
Anybody doing anything related?<br>
