New Altair-duino 680

[Flavio Villanustre]

Hello, everyone!

I received my Altair-duino 680 yesterday, after ordering it on Friday night (yes, I couldn't believe it myself that USPS would do a two day delivery across a weekend). As expected, Adwater and Stir did not disappoint: great documentation, all parts working, easy soldering and everything functioning on the first try. I expected a long night of soldering, but I was done with it in just a couple of hours.

I was a bit bummed once I realized that I forgot to purchase the wifi modem. But since I had a bunch of ESP 8266 modules laying around, it took just five minutes to have that sorted out, the ESP module flashed and installed, and the system is now on my network.

Call me crazy, but the part I like the most is how compact it is. My Altair-duino 8800a lives on a shelf, but this one can sit on my desk, right besides me.

Now, the important question: is there a kill-the-bit for this device? I may need to write one if there isn't :)

Thanks for the fun!

Flavio

As far as I know, you would be the first to try.  Let us know how it works.
