[Noisebridge-discuss] Possible free motion sensor boards

[Rachel McConnell]

My coworker forwarded me this:

i know the seller and he is willing (due to poor response on ebay) to
donate to non-profit or sell on the cheap to a good cause.
could anyone put these to use?

I took a look at the auction (and indeed there are no bids) and the
pieces look very interesting.  From the auction:

"Up for bid are 900+ PIR sensor circuit boards (photos 1, 2, & 3). These
new boards were planned for use in a hands free mobile phone device
(photo 4).  The PIR op-amp circuit is designed to sense a "hand wave"
and the circuit boards also include a sound amplifier as well as
additional circuitry (I'm no expert so please see circuit diagrams for
information - Photos 9, 10, 11 & 12). I believe the circuit also
contains a once-programmable controller chip."

I'm inclined to reply saying, please donate some of these to
Noisebridge.  My question is, how many?  900 is too many (although they
are smaller than shelves).  Does anyone have a project idea for lots?
I'd think that for general hacking, 100 would last us Forever.
