      There's a NEW version of this project - one that hopefully will be successful....

      and also with much better rewards! I learned a lot from the feedback I got on the previous project, and so without further ado:

      http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/upgradeindustries/boardx-the-open-source-miniature-motherboard-redem

      There's also a new add-on: a wireless XBee serial radio! The add-on supports all the variants including Pro. These babies support mesh networking, AES encryption, addressing, kilometer ranges and much much more.

      Even if you had previously pledged just a few dollars and didn't get anything as a reward, check what's available this time around because it could get you something!

      Needs a killer app.
      Like, using this as a controller for controlling Xmas lights, tuned to music.
      Needs a brain, remote solid state on/off relay switches.

      Use this kickstarter project to sponsor the next one, use my idea for free. Current solutions out there are quite tedious and need a dedicated PC.

      Build enclosures that can go outside, plug away. Timing is right for Xmas 2012.

      Since these are boxes going outside, no need for miniaturization.

      This looks like an amazing project, while I don't have much to commit, I've done what I can. I'll spread the board and I hope that this project gets funded.

Inspired by Captain Kirk to be bold, I decided to launch my own open source electronics company after leading a team in robotics competitions for Virginia Tech.
