I'm not going to rejoin the 'features' discussion but just a comment
on the multiple synchronization need. I documented some of this on my
website including replacing a resonator with a crystal (not for the
faint of heart) and using external I/O to synchronize multiple
modules. One needs to be a master and the others slaves. I updated a
program for Gary to try and haven't heard yet. I personally favor
using backchannel serial communication to synchronize the modules. I
put a video of this on the site as well.
Best wishes for agreeing on a set of features. I second the projected
BOM costing.
