Since these things are used as "car computers", there should at least be some info on how they handle wide temperature ranges. Then, if I was to get into such a project, I'd definitely want to get into FPGA programming, you can assemble all sorts of functions PWM, step pulses, encoder readers, counter/timer into one chip. But, there is a serious learning curve involved. And, NO, I am NOT volunteering!
