The development environment is so delightful as to be surreal... There
is a web IDE, clicking "Build and Run" is all that's necessary to push
new code to the Imp and start it. No cables, no ISP or JTAG, just wifi. :)
The imp is programmed in Squirrel <http://squirrel-lang.org/>, which
shares a lot of design goals with Lua, but is a bit more C-like.
You configure the WiFi credentials using something called "BlinkUp".
Think Timex DataLink... You enter your credentials on a smartphone or
tablet, and then it "blinks" the parameters to the imp by flashing the
screen. Once that's done, everything else happens from the web.
As far as range, I think the Imp guys have seen 1km from a good access
point over open ground. I've gone for a walk with a battery powered Imp
and was at least 100m from my house before it lost connectivity.

Great stuff Zandr - thanks for sharing.
Can you tell us a bit about your experience of the development
environment and wifi interface?
What sort of wifi range have you achieved?

Here are a couple of photos, one showing the daughtercard, one showing
the finished product.
