Hi,
Esplora does make things a bit less interesting in the short term, I was planning something similar for this lot -
However in the medium term it might open up our projects to more people, I want people to build my projects and if Esplora helps then it must be a good thing.
Rodot, its your design talent that blows us away, your take on conways 'game of life' is exceptional, why mess around with screens and batteries when you can can be genuinely creative - I hope you stick around and do more on the Arduino platforms.
