Hi,

My company makes an Arduino-compatible board called Teensy.  On the last 
batch, some of the USB connectors discolored slightly.  An engineer at 
Molex assured me the damage is only cosmetic, and indeed when tested 
they work fine.  But rather than sell these as normal products, I 
thought maybe this is a perfect opportunity to reach out to 
hackerspaces... with free hardware!

Teensy is similar in size and capability to Arduino Nano.  But unlike 
any official Arduino board, Teensy is a native USB device.  When used in 
serial mode, communication is at full USB speed.  Teensy can also be 
used as a USB Keyboard, Joystick, MIDI or other types, integrated with 
the Arduino IDE.  For example, as a USB keyboard, you use 
Keyboard.print("whatever").  Here's the website with all the details.

If your group could make use of these boards, please just let me know 
who's the best person to talk with, and where I should mail them?

We always love to see the creative things people do with Teensy. There's 
a projects page with photos and links to projects people have made.

I hope you'll have fun with Teensy and let us know what you end up building!
