This is why feedback is really good for everyone involved. We really do like to hear from folks, even when it's so we can find and fix one of our screw ups.</p>

Big props to SparkFun for sending me out a replacement, not only straight away, but using the faster shipping method (which for me, living in New Zealand, makes a huge difference).</p>

... and pots aren't? :-P<br>
I guess I can't say anything. I saw the MLX90614 and got the must-buy-it-now twitch. You guys really need to start stocking things I don't want to buy for awhile. My DIY budget needs to catch up.</p>

It is really tricky to get working on my windows 7 x64 computer, and that's the most common configuration shipping these days!<br>
You guys really ought to make it more clear that it doesn't work as well as you guys say. There is an enormous thread in the original product's comments about all the trouble people have had with it:<br>

Its cute and all and I can imagine it being great if it works, but since Win7 x64 is the most common new PC on sale today (and I got mine a year ago), you guys ought to mention something about it!<br>
I actually had to abandon mine and use the AVR Dragon because i couldn't get this thing working reliably!<br>
