You know that today, mobile phone processors are starting to catch up with desktop computer processors, and recently you have seen, as Apple ™ has shown, outperform them.
You know there is a big difference between them ARM processors compete in power, but also in low power consumption and heat produced .
When they told you that #adquio uses one of these processors ( ARM Quad-core Cortex-A7 at 1.2GHz ), you have quickly gone to see what your current controller use, and you have been perplexed, how? What?use microcontrollers similar to an Arduino ? You wanted to compare them, but you have searched the internet and nobody compares them, simply because its power is measured in different magnitudes .
You research and discover that traditional controllers execute instructions sequentially and in a loop, that is, when they finish they start over, just like microcontrollers do.
Now you investigate as #adquio does it and you read that it is object and event oriented But what the hell is that? You search and discover that # Adquio only executes actions that you program when a specific event that interests you happens , but #adquio is stopped on hold.
But you want to go further and keep diving, what operating system do they use? Your usual drivers: a closed and proprietary one, #adquio GNU / Linux, open and free.
You know that much of the current world innovation is born in GNU / Linux and ARM processors and you stay calm because you see that #adquio is part of both groups .
