July 20, 2012
A while ago we showed off the prototype/demo for the All-Seeing Eye, and from the positive response it got we decided to bring it back as An Actual Thing. We even mounted it to a DragonTail, and let it go for a spin around the office. Check it out:

All-Seeing Eye Sensor Mount Kit - Standard Range $66.92 The All-seeing Eye is a custom acrylic enclosure used to mount 4 Infrared distance sensors that can detect obstacles in a close to 360 degree radius. These sensors are easily chained together and all communicate on a single, shared I2C port. |

Two sensor modules, two LCDs. I'm sure there's some kind of joke in there waiting to be made, but I can't quite figure it out. So instead, I'm going to go and pour some maple syrup onto my bifocals.
...Hrm. You know that it's the end of a long week when something seems funny inside your head and nowhere else.
