Nice demo Lucie,

I had not realized just how small they were until your video.

I need to think about some applications for these little boards.

Wow, fast work Lucie! It only just went in the post [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-5b076fc1-affb-4909-8dd6-79375cc17ff9/5127.contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

Along similar lines to your idea for IR communication between CodeBugs, I was wondering if there was any way to make some simplified QR Code-type images, using its LED display, which could then be read by a smartphone app. Maybe they could even cycle through a few such codes, to increase the amount of info it's transmitting.

It's one way communication, admittedly, and I don't know quite what it'd be useful for, but it's something to think about.

You should have just bought him a codebug [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-5b076fc1-affb-4909-8dd6-79375cc17ff9/contentimage_5F00_2516.png:16:16]

They are slightly adictive aren't they?

Have you come up with a clever way to fasten to to clothes as a wearable.?

Hi Lucie!

nice post. Thank you to the notes [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-5b076fc1-affb-4909-8dd6-79375cc17ff9/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16] You seems very fast hacking any kind of stuff!

I haven't tried the text editor yet, hopefully switching between the 2 will preserve true changes (graphical style editors have a habit of erasing or overwriting things entered manually).

If you mean the online editor I think you find a bad surprise; you can see the code, copy and pasta (at it is a features or the browser) but no more. The assumption that the code can be modified as well as the visual graphic interface seems not available (I have not tested the codebug site for a while). Anyway not late than tomorrow I will receive my codebug too and see what's happen. It is sure that if we want to make projects around this device - that will be useful for the kids, or newbies etc. we should know more and do more than what we can do with the actual "official" tools.

As the processor is very common (was also my suspect too, and what other users already wrote) it seems not something so impossible, maybe easier than what expected. As I have one I'll try to make the easiest things than start focusing the possibilities of an idea I have in mind... As I have verified if it is possible I'll publish the project.

Cheers. Enrico
