  This is great, I've tried playing with Arduino a bit in the past, but didn't have a real understanding of what I was doing. On the flip side, I still struggle with most of these arduino or RaspberryPi "make hardware" stuff, because I don't understand what the next step is after I make the prototype for myself. Are we expected to build on top of an Arduino or RaspberryPi? Do we have to then port our designs to a custom platform? Hopefully the course will answer these questions.

    Yo Pete, When you say "prototype", do you mean breadboarding and plugging stuff into the headers? If so, the next step would be to make a PCB, which is exactly what this course is about. It would be "custom" but it's built on top of the Arduino. Plus it's all Open Source Hardware, which means the design files are open no matter what.
