    Focusing on mainly on electronics, I will agree that hardware is having a glamour moment, but not because more funding is available. I am an embedded designer and I work closely wi…

    The initial mobius.io device has 16 general purpose I/O lines, several serial ports, and analog in, so it is much more flexible than Nest. As for Android@Home, mobius also has its …

    Thanks for the link. I figured YC knew the risk if PG asked for more hardware people to apply. It's true that it's very hard to have the same type of growth in a hardware startup a…

    If they are referring to TI's OMAP processors, then they typically feature multiple ARM cores with various media accelerators ( http://www.ti.com/lit/ml/swpt034b/swpt034b.pdf ). Th…

    Yep, I just looked at the pinouts on the larger one and its very likely that they kept the same out-of-spec spacing as the Arduino Uno.
