Simpler? What use of the word simpler is this? How do you plan to attach the radios? Buy boards with radios? Simpler but way more expensive.
I can buy wifi/Ethernet headers for the arduinos instead of USB headers, which would simplify making it receive commands from a keyboard as I could use one program across all still but not have to connect a bus or 14 usbs to one hub.
I do have solder experience, are you talking about using the bus system with this technique?
I can understand the slowness of response, so I may try other methods to speed it up but for now, that would work in order to link all stacks with the IDE.
Thoughts?
