[Lab] Fwd: Arduino Due

[Bruce Harding]

Richard,

I'm in the same boat as you, in that I new to electronics etc.  Your 
observation about the Due is and 3.3v was exactly what I thought first time I 
read the specs.

I'm interested in why people choose a particular SoC.  I understand price is a 
major consideration, but I'm more interested in the technical choices i.e. 
number of output, or faster processor, more memory or even form factor for a 
particular project.
