Probably due to my embedded background.
Speaking of that, the owner approved my project to build something for UPS monitoring. Going to order that RaspberryPi 3 kit later (probably tomorrow) and get this going.
Awesome. Will be a lot of fun.
Once i have this under my belt, I may seriously look at redoing it with a cheaper board and parts for wider roll out. THis is the best thing I can think of for a first project though.
Don't forget to make a thread on it. I know I'm interested.
As for something smaller and cheaper. I really think that the ESP8266 or the new ESP32xx would work nicely.
Again, it's uC vs full blown Linux on ARM
You will need to implement everything yourself on a uC, from reading a RTC to controlling single bytes in the UARTs Tx and Rx buffers. I'm not even talking about persistent storage here (reading/writing to an EEPROM or a flash card for example) or communication with the UPS, which will all be handled by some Linux packages for you.I can see little to no benefit for this project in using a uC vs a single core ARM which can run Linux.
Ho-kay,.. maybe I have a better picture now.. uC vs ARM-
This may work,..
That is still $37 prior to shipping to get the pieces, assuming the $3 case and not the $12 one.

Binge watched a lot of Luke Cage over the weekend. I like it a lot. The villains are much more believable and less inherently evil then Fisk or Kilgrave, there are some exceptions but you expect that from Marvel. The acting is about what you'd expect from a Marvel TV show... on par with Daredevil and Jessica Jones and much better then Agents of Shield. I'm enjoying the nods to the other series and movies, as well as reference to the original source material without staying true to it.
No spoilers please, I'm only on episode 2.

Fully realized my wife is just not the binge watcher type. after 4 episodes of Luke Cage she was done.

Nope, I tried my best not to spoil anything. It's a really good show enough action and plot to keep you wanting more.

Hah, my Wife and daughter were gone for the weekend. So I did some work around that house and video games with this playing on another screen.

I'm loving it so far. Luke was one of may favorite characters on Jessica Jones, glad to see he got a show.

I'm ready for Iron Fist and the Defenders series if they are anything like Jessica Jones and Luke Cage they are going to be excellent.

VMWare UserCON. Trying to get a better handle on what NSX is and how it can be used.
