Has anyone played with one of these electronic prototyping platforms?

Your imagination will run wild with possibilities.

Reminds me of the Stamp processors, I've used those a number of times to control things. This does look like an interesting alternative.

Plus the platform, hardware and software, is open source.

Bought a Sanguino, built the kit, added a display. Got it say 'Hello World' or something lame, but haven't had a chance to get back to it. It's Arduino compatible.

Hook it to a light sensor and build a motion detector. I remember a light sensitive earthquake gadget that I used to have when I lived in Tokyo 20 years ago. Had it hooked to my old Apple llc. It was VERY effective and sensitive.

I would love to have one again.

Check out the 'Picaxe'. I've built several projects and the system works well. Great documentaton and inexpensive parts prices.
