I picked up a couple of these to play around with. It's hard to beat the
price. I'm still trying to see if I can get it to act as a USB device -
that's my need. That feature is easy on an Arduino, but those cost $30
instead of $4.30.

I see that Texas Instruments offers a complete microcontroller
development system for $4.30. I haven't looked at the price of the MCU
chips themselves, but I assume they cost only cents. Apologies if
someone already posted about this.

I would like to use this for upgrading my $10 infrared battle system
to a customizable system. My current system has only one detector and
a 180-degree field of view. It needs a 360 degree FOV. I would also
like to use a brighter LED and larger lens diameter to get longer
range than the current 100 feet.
