   Yes, and indeed additionally a convert from the Pi, which has far too   
   much video capability I don't need and don't wish to pay 3 times the   
   price for.   
      
   I keep 3 or 4 Arduinos around in case I need one for a bespoke, embedded   
   application which happens from time to time. They will repay the time   
   invested in learning how they tick many, many, many times over. IMHO,   
   they're a fantastic little board for the price.
