Makers love to develop on their favorite microcontrollers. The creators behind two of the most popular took boards the stage at the New York Hardware Innovation Workshop (HIW) in a panel moderated by MAKE’s own Matt Richardson. Although makers might like to argue about which is the best platform, there was plenty of common ground for these two panelists. Massimo Banzi, Co-Founder of the Arduino Project, began the session with a short discussion on how and why Arduino got started. “Every time you design a system to do everything, you end up with a system designed to do nothing,” Massimo says.
