A lot of people here are inspired by the energy and culture of the Arduino community, how they created entry points for people to rediscover the innards of hardware, how it can be built, customized, programmed, etc. The only current instance of Milkymist-specific hardware you can buy today is the Milkymist One video synthesizer, which sells for 499 USD. A lot of time is spent to make the hardware and software of Milkymist One a good starting point for other Milkymist-based products. We (including you), could definitely branch out the Milkymist One hardware and make a product or just a board built for a specific purpose, such as the Javascript-programmable 'real' computer you have in mind. Hope this helps as some initial feedback, keep researching and please let us know what you find. If you are searching for specific things or have specific questions, please just list them all and send here. It's easiest to respond to specific questions. Thanks a lot for stopping by, Cheers, Wolfgang _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
