Tassel is now available for sale
Tassel - This Interesting offering - a microcontroller that understands javascript & node, with a slew of sensors akin to Arduino & Raspberry Pi.
Thinking aloud ... apart from a hobbyist's perspective, where can Tassel be deployed, given the price tag?
On the cost effectiveness & usability front,
1. The Arduino & Raspberry PI combination sounds more cost effective infact.
2. Other wild thought is about running node on android, given the cost effectiveness and power of mobile phones - packed with ARM processors and slew of sensors - which could simply be leveraged.
