How is this different to Cloud9 IDE and bonescript? I took a brief look at their site, and I don’t see anything equivalent to LabView. All this could be achieved with Nodejs and the C/C++ Addon library to talk to I/O. The hardware with an old ARM processor and limited memory looks horrible.

Decide what features you do not need, like LCD, Ethernet, etc, and redesign the board by removing those features, freeing up the pins to use them as PRU pins. Gerald On Fri, May 6, 2016 at 2:53 PM, Robert Jonathan Šimon wrote: > I have another Question on PRUs. It has 9
