Well, let's see:
1) Looking at the description:
"The Meta Board is a physical programmable circuit board that allows you to build physical circuits on a breadboard without wire or specific value resistors and capacitors using a host microcontroller, such as the Arduino Nano."
This is rather uninformative to say the least. In what way does it replace resistors / capacitors? How many does it replace? How is it programmed?
2) On watching the video, it seems as if this device lets a person turn on or off some pins under the control of a computer. That would make this device a digital I/O board, minus the I part, or a relay board, perhaps? (Both of which are readily available online already.) However, the description suggests that it does more than this?
3) The "Why use the Meta Board?" reasons are either not very compelling or have common solutions. For example, re: #2, resistors and capacitors costs a negligible amount and re: #7, it's not particularly clear what that means.
3) There is no description of the electrical characteristics of the inputs/output pins or anything else.
4) The image links on the metaboard.space page are broken, at least when viewed from North America. Manually opening the links returns an access denied message from the CDN.
- ysteiner 10y agoThank you.
- agumonkey 10y agoBroken image links in Europe too.
- senectus1 10y agoimages are broken in Australia too. What is your target audience.. I'm not entirely sure if I even could be interested in this.. the scenario displayed is clinical with no context around why i might want to buy one and say stick it into my Rpi...
