What are you wanting to do Steve? I've done some Arduino development but
not related to Flex radios.
In my view the Arduino is a nice platform because it's consistent and
when you drop one into a project there's a big chunk that's already
de-bugged and working in terms of hardware. However, I don't care for
their programming language so much because it lacks an easily accessed
interrupt structure which makes an application that's timing sensitive
more difficult to write. This includes things like async serial
communications, etc.
If someone has become familiar with their "processing" language used to
write sketches it isn't too much of a leap from there to using the free
WinAVR cross-compiler for C/C++ on the same processors.
One alternative board, with which you can write native code or still use
the Arduino environment is called a "Teensy" which starts at $16 ea.
