Arduino Comparison

We get lots of people asking us how the Make Controller compares to the Arduino, so we figured we'd put together a comparison chart to help! 

The Arduino is a great microcontroller - low cost, full featured, and supported by a large community.  We like to think of the Make Controller as a little bit of a big brother to the standard Arduino - it's got more horsepower, more memory, more IO, runs faster, has Ethernet, and even runs an operating system.  If your project needs higher performance, more code space or to be connected to the internet then we think the Make Controller is an excellent option.

This comparison will be based on the standard Arduino - the Duemilanove at the time of writing.  There are now other Arduino variants, like the Mega, that offer *lots* of IO which are also good options.
