[arm-allstar] Why Arduino?

[Roselito de los Reyes]

Thank you Michael.. I was going to say the same. I just needed to read thru the responses before I did.


Note that this group is the "arm-allstar" and not the "rPi-allstar". The developers needed to come up with a solution that would be compatible with the different platforms.


73,

Because not everyone is going to use a Raspberry Pi. I use an Odroid-X2 as
1/2 of my sdr .... voice, packet & digital.
