Wow! nice site! Jesus, it gives you some ideas. See all the awesome accelerometers, gyros, mag sensors and baro sensors? Amazing stuff. You could tell compass heading, 2-d acceleration, barometric pressure, humidity and temp, multiplex it all down to one input, it'd fit in 2 square inches, cost $100 and you could make it decode mp3's too. :-)

Plus, they sell a rotary cellphone. Wow.

I have a bluetooth serial adapter that I plan to "develop" into a useable way to tune my car some day.

Odd, I've been digesting that site pretty much all week.

Here's another good one.

Megasquirt can do that. You know you want to get rid of your $2000 Hydra for a $200 Megasquirt.
