That just means it is capable of talking to an Apple product. If you pair it with something else, then it won’t use that chip at all. Even if you do though, it’s not required to be encrypted unless the SPOT designers wanted to make it encrypted. The Apple protocol isn’t anything too special anyway.

Why not use iTunes U to spread these classes also? I’m not sure of the requirements to post classes there, but it would be worth a try and allow everyone to automatically subscribe to new classes as they are released and save them to their iDevices easily.

The USPS considers these to be hazardous materials, digikey only allows shipping via UPS/Fedex. Are you able to get around this somehow?
Product DEV-09530 | about a year ago
I’m incorporating the OpenLog design into a project I’m working on, but I’m having trouble finding the source files for version 1 on GitHub. Are these still available? I really just want to change to a slower crystal since I’ll be running at 3.3V. Version 1 sounds more stable and that’s very important in the project I’m working on.
Product COM-08837 | about a year ago
The datasheet under the images for this product is for a different button. If you want to mount this vertically using the Sparkfun footprint, you end up having to cut off the right-angled posts and trim what’s left to make it thinner to fit in the holes. Either an updated datasheet or updated footprint would be greatly appreciated.

If only I was born a few years later I would no longer fall in the “seasoned” engineer category. Then I would apply for the job in a heartbeat!
Product WRL-08497 | about 2 years ago
The typical voltage they expect people to use is 3.3V. 3V is stated as the minimum. While this means it will work at 3V, they won’t guarantee it will work below that so you are better off working at 3.3V to allow for fluctuations in your power supply. One of the hardest things to debug is one of your chips randomly resetting itself because the power dips low for a microsecond.
