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?
