Recommendations of boards

Projects General Guidance

hi Robin2 and gdsports, thank you for your replies. And those links are useful.

yes I can see now having re read, explanations got muddy. I will update post #2 in sec to make it more clear.

Got immediate couple of questions:

  1. Uno has a 6 male pins on it's board to which USB Host shield attaches itself when stacked up. If I was to use Micro with USB host shield I have, is there way to know which pins of the Micro I should connect to USB host shield pins? Micro has also 6 male pins, are the equivalent pins that UNO has so should be connected to corresponding female pins of the USB host shield?

  2. What about memory considerations, I fear that having done all the work of finding right board and then spending time on coding/researching, when fully implemented Micro or Leonardo may not have enough memory to operate sketches. Hence why I tried to give full picture of the project in order to have a right boards from the start for the Main unit and Media box. I think I may be just about ok, what do you think based on hopefully better explained post #2?

Thanks for your time.
