If you have experimented with or built a project with the Matrix Creator add-on board for the Raspberry Pi, how are you liking it? I wanted to get some feedback from makers, designers, etc. What have you been building with it? How do you like working with it? Thanks.

According to the matrix creator website, they describe it as a dev-board, which explains the size of it.
Some videos of it on the site:
Using its in-built sensors:
and as a drone:
Using the microphone array and cloud like an Amazon Echo:
I like that they have a lot of information at the matrix github location, so it could have applicability as as experimenter board for students too. It seems quite a nice board for educational purposes, for electronics and computer related courses.
The 8 microphones makes it unique, since all previous attempt at a DIY Alexa/Siri solution have been compromises using just one or two mics.
I think they were aiming for a form-factor like the Echo Dot, but the Echo Dot is puck-sized, and this isn't. Still, for educational and development/prototyping purposes I guess this doesn't matter.
