One of our engineers created a Rocket launcher using XMOS startKIT and wifi slice on a sartKIT hackaton day (Thursday this week). Rocket launcher application can be controlled by a webpage using wifi network. Working demo of the application is available here.
About startKIT:
Priced at just $14.99 from XMOS distribution partners, startKIT makes it quick and easy to start developing with the configurable xCORE multicore microcontroller technology.
startKIT is equipped with header connections that allow it to interface to Raspberry Pi products, making it an ideal real-time I/O solution for Raspberry Pi projects. The board includes: LEDs; a push-button switch; two capacitive sense sliders; a sliceCARD connector that is compatible with the wide range of I/O slices available from XMOS; and headers that allow connection to a breadboard system.
