This open-source & open-hardware project aims to be more than just a little board with a big microcontroller and a few useful peripherals — it seeks to be a fast prototyping system. To justify this title, in addition to a very useful little board, we also need user-friendly development tools and libraries that allow fast implementation of the board’s peripherals. Ambitious? Maybe, but nothing should deter you from becoming Master of Embedded Systems Universe with the help of the Elektor Sceptre.
