Hi,

I have a reasonably good understanding of basic electronics but minimal exposure to microcontrollers and poor C++ skills currently. I have so far been having great fun getting the LEDs to flash :)

I do have some projects I am interested in and I wonder if people with mbed experience can tell me if these are feasible:

1) C64 SID chip emulation: I'd like to emulate a C64 6581 SID chip for my own chiptune enjoyment. If possible I'd like to use the mbed as a complete SID audio device i.e. have it not only emulate but drive the emulated chip. I have seen a SID chip emulator for the Arduino: http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Main/SID-emulator

2) PS3 bluetooth controller: I'd like to pair my PS3 controller with mbed + el cheapo bluetooth usb dongle so I can control servos / motors with the PS3 controller wirelessly over bluetooth. I have seen someone working on a device to do this with the Arduino: http://www.circuitsathome.com/mcu/ps3-and-wiimote-game-controllers-on-the-arduino-host-shield-part-1

So are these projects possible with the mbed? I gather it is significantly more powerful than the Arduino?

Thanks
