I have been working on a guide in form a flow chart and links, which I am hoping will help people look at where they should get started, and some of the options in hardware to use as a Microcontroller or controlling computer for their robot or other IoT project.
You can find this in the getting started are, this is a work in progress so I intend to add more as I go on this.
