Niftymitter update


I have been hard at work on Niftymitter, which has its own website and blog at openthing.org. The transmitter has a completely new housing design in laser cut cardboard and I have been fully documenting the development in an open source manner using primarily Google Code, but also Thingiverse and Instructables. The transmitter is now in version 0.24, shown above.

Sadly I'm only here til the end of the week, so the aim for then is to have 6 kits which I shall be sending out to testers'hackers who registered and interest through the website. The kit will contain a Niftymitter and various add ons to allow users to experiment with different possible behaviours and funcionalities - it is part probe, part 'assisted hacking' exercise. I'm looking forward to seeing what others make of the deign and assisting in developing those ideas into further prototypes leading up to an exhibition in June as part of the PPFCP project.
