comment Modifying an automotive 12V power outlet to disable power when car is off?
Heh, double back tape/screw a limit switch right beside the ignition key hole. When the key is turned to the on position it will hit the switch and close the circuit. Add a toggle switch in parallel and that would be your always on switch.

comment Reliability of the Arduino platform for industrial use
Thanks for the info, always good to hear from someone who has experience in the field. What about DC systems under 24v?

comment Measuring Arduino internal voltage reference with respect to Vcc
What you are saying is probably correct but it means I will have to change the voltage divider which i don't want to do (already soldered on multiple boards)...but its probably the best solution compared to fiddling around and trying to compensate for an unreliable Vcc as a reference voltage.

comment How to choose a MCU platform?
How would something like the xmos line of processors compare to these in terms of simplicity, flexibility, and capability? I understand that the xmos isn't a microcontroller like the rest but it does look like a very attractive platform with the inverse philosophy compared to the propellers (one really powerful core split up instead of many cores combined).
