Interesting Potential eLua Platform

I assume some of you may have seen this already, but I'll mention it  
on the list: Illuminato X Machina

It uses an LPC2368, so according to the NXP product page it should  
have 512KB flash and 58K of SRAM.  It sounds like it might also have  
an extra 128K EEPROM.

Individual cells are going for US$56.89 for their first run, for which  
they're taking pre-orders.

Honestly, I'm not sure I'm sold on the practicality of these sorts of  
cell/network boards much beyond the neatness and research factors, but  
I suppose you could do things like configure a strip of these  
controlling different devices but still communicating with one-
another, or use something like this for failover.  Also, I can  
definitely appreciate the idea of being able to just make a grid and  
flash a whole bunch of them without intervention for each device :-)
