When said they prototype using Arduino boards I used the opportunity to promote the Maple. Based on photos from the group they use breadboards, so the Maple mini should fit into their projects.</p> <p>Expect an email (or a knock) from Dr. Linnes or someone from her group.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p><a href="http://forums.leaflabs.com/profile.php?id=843">Stephen fr
