Hey Rachel,<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Total score! I can use lots of these! I'd love to use them for a project for the walls of Noisebridge. It will involve lots of RGB LEDs! Can we have at least several hundred?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
Mitch.<BR>

<BR>> <BR>
<BR>> i know the seller and he is willing (due to poor response on ebay) to<BR>
<BR>> donate to non-profit or sell on the cheap to a good cause.<BR>
<BR>> could anyone put these to use?<BR>
<BR>> ----<BR>
<BR>> <BR>
<BR>> I took a look at the auction (and indeed there are no bids) and the<BR>
<BR>> pieces look very interesting. From the auction:<BR>
<BR>> <BR>
<BR>> "Up for bid are 900+ PIR sensor circuit boards (photos 1, 2, & 3). These<BR>
<BR>> new boards were planned for use in a hands free mobile phone device<BR>
<BR>> (photo 4). The PIR op-amp circuit is designed to sense a "hand wave"<BR>
<BR>> and the circuit boards also include a sound amplifier as well as<BR>
<BR>> additional circuitry (I'm no expert so please see circuit diagrams for<BR>
<BR>> information - Photos 9, 10, 11 & 12). I believe the circuit also<BR>
<BR>> contains a once-programmable controller chip."<BR>
<BR>> <BR>
<BR>> I'm inclined to reply saying, please donate some of these to<BR>
<BR>> Noisebridge. My question is, how many? 900 is too many (although they<BR>
<BR>> are smaller than shelves). Does anyone have a project idea for lots?<BR>
<BR>> I'd think that for general hacking, 100 would last us Forever.<BR>
