Yes it is very nice but also very smart. People will like you a lot more because of it and maybe that student that gets 10 dollar in samples today later orders shiploads of IC's from your company because he now designs equipment and remembers how nice those samples were.
But now I am looking for some arduino code to drive the MAX6921, code seems sarce and the icetubeclock uses an older software version I believe.
