Re: The many uses of PilMCU

I've started a wiki document:

http://picolisp.com/wiki/?pilMCU

Will flesh it out over the next few days.

 Hi list !
 
 This thread is meant to collect ideas about PilMCU.
 At least mine (because I need to clean them up a bit)
 and ideas of other PicoLispers (out of curiosity).
 
 Maybe some items will look more like questions like «is it even possible?»!
 (This email took me at least two weeks of careful drafting.)
 
 May this thread help Alex and George to refine their biz-plan!
 
 My ideas are all related to the language I embed in PicoLisp:
 http://microalg.info
 I dream about a small box that would interpret this language and interact
 in several ways with the user (output of course, but input like coding
 the box too,
 as well as typing words or other (gaming) peripherals).
 
 Now I may go in more details. I'm not saying that Alex and George
 may build this box, but could consider enough flexibility and connectivity
 for someone to be able to build this kind of project based on their project

Re: The many uses of PilMCU

2014-10-13 Thread Heow Goodman
My apologies, should have been more verbose.  Now in the wiki:

KEY

The left column denotes price. For instance $100x is 100
TIMES the consumer purchase price.

Similarly the top column denotes efficiency or performance,
as an example 5x slower means 1/5th the speed of a similar
consumer device.This must be based on the context of the
contents, we're not building a 3D graph.

This is because people want to build a variety of devices:

  * 3D goggles
  * mobile phone
  * genetic testing cluster
  * game system
  * wearable

The price and performance of these tasks varies as wildly as our
expectations.  Right now we have no idea how performant it will be or
how much it will cost.  This is where the wiki comes in, to outline
ideas based on which bucket the idea falls into.
