I wonder if the software that comes with it makes it easy to exercise the GPIOs, including conditional branching, capturing the time of an input, and doing PWM outputs. If so, this module could be used to prove a concept in a larger system. Students could slap one of these into a project knowing that if anyone wants to make more than one of these they'd replace the Rasberry Pi with some low-cost embeeded MCU. But this would be a quick and dirty way to get a lot of processing power to prove a concept. I'm curious how well the software that comes loaded on the board lends itself to these "embedded MCU" type functions.
