Yes... but for a SW engineer with no hardware experience. It will get him to a working prototype and help him understand some of the system groups involved. Hiring a HW guy is a waste of time unless you have plenty of $$ and the GO signal from the consumer. The guys behind the "Pebble" watch prototyped on Ardunio
Exactly. EE here who used to do Robotics. Pay a bit more and get components that can be plugged together in the simplest possible way. Then once you get the prototype working, you can get some fancy HW people to design the system/chip/whatever and throw it into a factory in China.
