**General**

Arduino is the official name for an open source hardware technology developed in Italy for controlling hardware.  The boards are available fairly cheaply, have sensor, motor, communication and other hardware extensions.  They have been adapted for many purposes. See the http://dlnmh9ip6v2uc.cloudfront.net/learn/materials/1/Arduino_final_handout.pdf%|%handout%|% from an Arduino training course from http://www.sparkfun.com for some great references.

Tck/Tk seems ideally suited as a programming languages for this technology:
   * as the interface to these boards
   * could a minimalist version of tcl be compiled to run on these https://www.sparkfun.com/arduino_guide%|%microcontrollers%|%?

What a great new future for tcl as a Tool Command Language for actual tools as well as software tools!
