I saw this via e-mail and checked it out. I remember back at FlashForward SF '04(??) when MakingThings did a demo of how their controller boards could be controlled by a small Flash application. With just a few lines of code they had a nice Flash gui interface turning lights and fans on and off and reacting to sensor inputs. Very cool stuff.

Fast forward to today when we have access to checking values of individual pixels and all the cool things that have been done with webcams and the Flash Player.. and I could have some true geek fun with one of their boards.

So then came this e-mail with info on their new MAKE Controller Kit - holy smokes.. it's $149 and it has loads of features.. (check out the application board) and can be controlled via a Flash interface. I want one.. and a couple of weekends to geek on it.
