When I came back the next morning with my prototype and a basic program to control it albeit basically it was pretty clear to my professor and I where my passions would tend to steer me towards for the rest of my days.

Imagine that CJ had some damaged parts? I guess that 2 foot drop from sealing to the box is bad. I was wondering if that 2 foot drop was some sort of drop testing being implemented in the packing department.

Usually car door switches are normally closed I believe. That allows them to turn on an interior light when the door is open (switch closed) and shut it off when door closes (switch open). Just thought I would throw that out there since you referenced car door switches.

Can you plug a hub into this shield and connect more than one device or is it restricted to a single host device?

I unfortunately live on the West Coast and by the time I got into the office they were already gone :( I know you get them when you get them but is there any idea when they will be in next? I guess I should just back order some instead of this happening I just had no idea that Sparkfun would get so few and that they would be gone this fast.
News - According to Pete - June … | last year
You have my vote on the garage audio project! This is along the lines of a project I was thinking about but at a different level where you are putting larger pieces already made together. Even gave up a $1K bounty for Dave Jones (EEVBlogger) to do it but he turned me down.

Also I don’t think those plastic bags were big enough to hold those 10 little pieces of hardware! Maybe you bought dog walking dookie pickup bags in bulk and figured you would multipurpose them!

Have any of you seen http://www.squareup.com? In short it is a credit card reader that uses the audio port to process credit card payments.
This appears to be this project in production to some degree. My guess is the original idea probably came from this. Either that or they owe someone some serious cheddar as well!

N8B: The expected arrival date of our next shipment is 5/14
The next purchase after that is due in by late June
This date has come and gone and I never saw any stock :( Any word if there will be anymore before late June now?
Anyone have another source for these? I have several boards now that I need these for.

Actually upon further review of the Robot materials it is a Seiko SSPS-105 which has about 5000 oz-in of torque and goes for around 520.00 US. Major overkill for this application but hey its Mythbuster’s so…
Go big or go home!
