Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Toner Transfer

It has a set of Arduino compatible sockets where you can plug in an 
Arduino Peripheral board, there is also an Arduino development 
software package available for it. I will not be using the Arduino 
software but instead use software I'm comfortable with. I have my own 
C, Pascal, and FORTH compilers for ARM.

You need to read the information on the ST site as it explains it in 
detail. The price is right, it's less that $11 for an ARM F4 
development board with 512K of Flash and Arduino compatibility, not 
bad at all. I will be buying a bunch of them as soon as I can get some money.

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
