    <p>Was about to suggest the same. Just did a project that started on
      a Uno but switchbacked to Due boards for the additional memory.
      Not sure if RAM or ROM ran out but both were at the limits for a
      UNO. <br>

           I suggest that you consider having a Arduino Mega sent your
          way. It takes<span> </span>more physical<span> </span>space,
          but has many more GIO pins. Also, it has 6 external interrupt
          pins and I believe 3 PinChange interrupt ports, as well as,
          pretty much more of everything else. I was wondering about
          your pin assignments for your encoders. It looks like you plan
          to use a tachometer type encoder and not<span> </span>quadrature
          encoders. The Mega would allow you to use quadrature encoders.
          Everything that you have done on the Uno can be transported to
          the Mega (you might need to change a pin assignment or two).
          It would allow you more freedom to expand. Here is a link to a
          reasonably priced Mega, <a

              <div>I stunned and amazed at how easy working with the
                Arduino UNO is.  The plethora of example code, libraries
                for this and that, and who knows how many tutorials on
                Youtube and blogs is mind-boggling.  When I finally sat
                down with my new UNO and a breadboard, in 2 minutes I
                was reading a switch state, 3 minutes later playing a
                tune on a piezo speaker, 5 minutes later I had sonar
                results streaming on my screen.  The young members of
                team Rayo Pinky-Pie are thrilled that we'll be able to
                navigate and locate objects like dolphins and bats. 
                Thank you, Doug, for the tip about tying TRIG and ECHO
                together -- that worked great!  Of course, now I still
                need more pins because I'm thinking we could use a 2nd
                sonar sensor!  jajaja.  Now we've got to work on
                H-bridge and wheel encoders and our plan to take on the
                physical world.  Hmmm... we need a gripper.  Yep.  And
                more, bigger batteries.  Is there no end to this
                madness?!  ;-)</div>
