Think of really simple, low power, low cost devices. USB can also provide power. USB+ATtiny85 devel boards cost ~$3 even at Amazon. And FPGA boards can be pretty inexpensive too. If you can find them. But note these are just preliminary ideas. >> Would this be a useful component?

Let us first build a few before worrying about such things. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Ta4e584a373b05553-M7612c07b44c6a417cec5c3ba Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
