I'm working on the design of dialysis machine....it includes a number of analog n digital sensors (temp,pressure,flow,conductivity,air detection), valves, pumps etc along with control of heaters, interfacing with display etc...what should I work on- will MSP430 coupled with a beagle board be a cost effective approach?
or how about FPGAs? keepin in mind the advancements in FPGAs frm Xilinx and Actel....
Looking for cost effectiveness plus reduced size...but on par with the efficiency of current machines
