Thanks for the great information nakkaya. You've worked on some very cool things.
About the Java friendly micros - I mentioned Systronix, but it looks like that community and product line may be dormant or even abandoned. There haven't been any posts to their Google Groups or many of their forums for at least a year. What about using the built-in I2C interface on the BeagleBone/BeagleBoard to handle the I/O? For example, something like this product<http://www.robotshop.com/seeedstudio-grove-i2c-motor-driver.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=base&utm_campaign=jos>from Robot Shop. As you mentioned, you're still offloading the real-time work onto another microcontroller (ATmega8L), but by using I2C bus devices you can expand your control system as needed without an Arduino. Would there be any disadvantages to doing this?
