[chbot] Got my CHIP computers

[Charles Manning]

Yesterday I received my order of 3 CHIP boards after a 4 month wait.

At USD9 each, they're supposed to be the lowest cost Linux-capable boards
out there... Yes, RPI Zero is cheaper at $5, but that has no storage and
needs an SDCard. The CHIP has 4G NAND flash built in - enough for lots of
storage

The CHIP is quite small (credit card size) and has 0.1 inch socket strips
for IO ports etc.

Other main features are built in Wifi, composite video (HDMI and LCD
capable too).

When I have some time I'm going to use one to re-CPU my homebrewing heater
controller (which currently uses an ESP8266 running Lua.

Main goal though is  to use these for some Yaffs testing...
