Electric Imp Development Card $29.95 It looks like and SD card.... it smells like an SD card.... but it certainly tastes much, MUCH better! Connect your project via wifi to the internet with the powerful, configurable, programmable Electric Imp. |
And if the trend continues, next time we might even have four products! Scandalous... Numbers are so tricky. I think I'll go count my fingers now (and maybe even toes if I'm really adventurous). But I'm afraid that will be too much, I might not be able to sleep tonight. Life can be overwhelming sometimes. Keep everything under control, especially your toes, and see you next week!
