I thought of putting functionality of simple GSM mobile phone (making / receiving calls) into that 4kB of FLASH. I think it is doable and this board could be first step to do so.

I want to use it for my Robotics Projects (Robot Playing Soccer, and Drone) . I am really curious about how this little thing will perform!

Thank you very much in advance.

1. I have a robot vehicle that needs independent control of four wheels. I would put four of these on an I2C network and control the individual PWM motor timer signals from the I2C network.

2. White line follower using comparator input and then PWM to control motors

3. Use it as interface netween I2C temperature sensor and UART input of PC which could then act as data logger - possibly use an FTDI chip so that I can access virtual COM port on PC.

Scott I got my board so I must say I think it's legit and also a load of people I recomened it to on another forum got theirs too. One thing I must say is that you are in the US and we're all in the UK if this is normal post you can wait 28 days or more for the post and US customs, also have you put your addess on your profile... If not I assume it will be difficult to send you it ...I had to update mine

Good luck

I too have posted ideas and no board. Yet other have received boards, so I think this is a legit offer.
