> Hello again fellow ChucKists,


Hi Les.


> eChucK is inspired by and related to ChucK.  The "e" stands for electronic,

> electronic form and then wire these boards up into free-standing
> "sculptures" that can create music on their own or interact with ChucK
> software or both.  Also ChucK can model eChucK sculptures, which I have done

I would like to congratulates you again. eChucK is a awesome project and the
applications are unlimited. I think we can use it even for educational
purpouses.

I would like to receive the board. I think we can replicate it here in
Brazil (we have a PCB prototyper here at the university) and send some
copies to people around the world. What do you think?

Yes. We'll try to use Arduino instead of PICs to power some UGens.

Cheers.
