Isn't it a bit too expensive? I think it is, especially when considering the competition (Arduino).

- asd 13y agoI really wanted to back this one but I cannot justify paying $99+. Instead of one of these I bought one of these http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/48651611/espruino-javascript-for-things http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/48651611/espruino-javasc... and one of these http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2021474419/flutter-20-wireless-arduino-with-half-mile-1km-ran http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2021474419/flutter-20-wi...
- egeozcan 13y agoYeah, I'm also getting an Espruino. I'm living in Germany so, I can't get the Flutter yet - I'm dying to get my hands on a pair though.
- bryans 13y agoI think you aren't taking into consideration the differences between this and the competition. The Tessel is intended to be a powerhouse right out of the box. For example, 160MHz compared to <20MHz, and 32MB of flash and RAM compared to 32-256kB.
- egeozcan 13y agoYou can achieve the same level of flexibility and more with arduino + raspberry pi, put together in a custom case. It still doesn't cost that much. I really wanted to play with this, but I find it too expensive for having it just to play with it.
- xutopia 13y agoThe difference I see with Tessel is that you require less learning electronics and you're right away capable of programming modules just after you plug them in. To me that has considerable value.
