[Noisebridge-discuss] How hard would it be...

[Glen Jarvis]

This is *absolutely* perfect.. exactly what I was looking for.

They even have an evaluation kit and tutorial. The devices can be
powered parasitically (perfect)... This may really be very cheap and very
simple...

I've had to get a quote for the evaluation kit (I didn't see a price yet).
Hopefully, it's reasonable :)  This is fun :)


Thanks again,

Glen
