Congrats on the new service, this is excellent and a very simple API to use! Any plans to add a graphing component? This data is neat but visualization would be a huge benefit.

I just purchased one of these and hooked it up. You can train up to 3 coins. You can configure how many pulses it sends out per coin type, from 1 to 50. I have it set on the short pulse setting and the pulse is about 40ms. It is nearly 150ms on the slow setting. This is sent out on the white signal wire at 5v. There is a counter line, I haven't investigated this.

Interesting, I wonder if this could be used to transmit focused IR light and become a lasertag sensor badge? I'll have to test that out at some point.

This early Voltron prototype was a complete disaster.

The little red box idea is the icing on the cake here. I could just imagine this in use at their booth to hand out swag.
Strange, I replied to #100529's comment and it set it on Nick's reply. Oh well, still valid and would love to see this in reality.

This idea is made of awesome. A giant pez dispenser that dispenses electronics!

I drove down to Microcenter and bought Sparkfun packaged items. I have also been to JB Saunders and purchased Sparkfun material. Of course living in Colorado, sometimes it is nice to drive over to Boulder and pick the packages up directly in front of the huge clock!

Yes, if you read the class description it mentions what the class provides to you. If you look at the hardware costs they are basically teaching these classes for free!

For some reason I read this comment and the line "I want my two dollars!" popped into my head from Better Off Dead.
No public wish lists :(
