donblair | "Yep, I think so. The Digispark is only $9, I think, because it uses the ATTiny processor, which is super cheap, and uses a really tiny board. It ..." | Read more » | almost 10 years ago | |||
donblair | "Hah! -- $15! Sigh ... $5 would be even better, no? And it should have wifi too, right? :) The basic version of an OpenLux + dust sensor with reco..." | Read more » | almost 10 years ago | |||

donblair | "Yay! Yeah, I puzzled a bit over the best geometry of 'emitters and receivers' to use on the device. I have two photodiodes on the board, one of w..." | Read more » | almost 10 years ago | |||
