Arduino Digispark
I've just been told by ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
damien_wise of a Kickstarter project for a tiny Arduino computer called the Digispark. It is smaller than the average USB thumbdrive. I was so impressed I pledged $28 (+$10 international delivery) for 3 of the little marvels.
Each Digispark has a USB connector through which it can be powered and communicate with your main computer, separate power input if you don't want to use the USB connector, and 6 pins for input-output (I/O) or 4 if you want to communicate through the USB connector, 4 of the I/O pins can measure analog values and send them as digital numbers (ADC).
This cool, inexpensive (about $10) little computer lets you have any number of easily connected, easily programmed controllers and/or sensors.
It is open hardware too!
Brilliant!

(I tried to embed the code for the video, but neither Dreamwidth nor LiveJournal will allow it. You'll have to go to the Kickstarter page to see it.)
