For a couple of one of a kind projects, I would like to use an ARM controller in a board that could accept (at least some of the) Arduino shields. So far I found the Xduino (status dubious) and the Cortino ( http://www.bugblat.com/products/cor.html ) Can anybody point to others? Thanks, -- Roberto Waltman

ARM SBC in arduino form factor?

The leaflabs boards look interesting. -- Roberto Waltman

I'm a bit down on Arduino for a reason that I mentioned here before -- at least one shield board I find "over-packaged" and inflexible. The Ardumoto board here is working fine: lots of fun walking a stepper motor into resonance failure, and contemplating what a stepper sequencer has to do, but it won't scale beyond one shield per system without some major carving. Sometimes a shield is exactly what I want, and instantly available, and that's great; but given that I will get pushed into board building eventually, I'm just as apt to use STAMP-format boards for proof-of-concept; they're frequently cheaper.

mbed (http://mbed.org/) seems to be a good match for you. mbed is based on the LPC1768 MCU from NXP and is actually smaller than Arduino UNO. The biggest innovation of mbed is the Cloud-based development environment. The entire system—editor, compiler, libraries, and reference materials—are completely web-based. There is no software to install or maintain on the host system. --------------------------------------- Posted through http://www.EmbeddedRelated.com

What if you need to make some changes a few years later, and the (original) environment is no longer available ? I'd rather go through the extra effort of installing the tools locally.
