Re: AMICUS 18 Section

Conservative estimates suggest that Arduino shipped 150K + units last year NOT including the clones that originate form the far east !!
Then there's the estimated 4 or 5 shields used per Arduino, so there are maybe close to 1M sheilds out there in developers tool boxes.
With volumes like that prices are LOW LOW LOW, so all you need is a open low cost platform onto which you can attach your Arduino shield and then PBP users can take advantage of the "competitors" baby.
Shields are boards that can be plugged on top of the Arduino PCB extending its capabilities. The different shields follow the same philosophy as the original toolkit: they are easy to mount, and cheap to produce.And they fit directly onto the AMICUS18 board which uses a 3.3V or 5V PIC which you can write code for with PBP !
Example: http://www.myamicus.co.uk/content.ph...Remote-Control
Bruce Reynolds shows just how easy it is to use PBP on an Arduino compatible platform
and here are some shields that you could use with PBP and an Amicus18 board http://www.adafruit.com/index.php?ma...ex&cPath=17_21
Dont forget the Amicus18 board is open, so you dont have to buy it form Farnell or Newark, or Crownhill, you can build your own - as many people have done. Google microchip 1818281+1818282 to find many more suppliers
