Why do you need to design another computer interface module? Unless I am not understanding what this is, why not use one that already exists like Arduino? Seems that you are going to force users to learn yet another interface.

Well, multiplicity of options should be available, for the simple reason that...well, lets say I am in India, but Arduino was designed in Italy, so there is a good chance that some key component will not be readily
or cheaply available to me here (India). So if people have put up multiple designs for interfacing then I have a good chance of finding a design whose components ARE available here.
Also, costs. Flexi is an Indian clone of Arduino, and it costs less than $50.
