Great project for people of all skill levels

For "One Million Ohms" Microcontroller Project Kit

What a great kit. This is really a funny conversation piece. The reactions from others is priceless! The preset light show and well commented code and great directions make this kit something special.

Great electronic joke.

For "One Million Ohms" Microcontroller Project Kit

It's got pride of place on my work bench, it has fooled all my none electronic minded friends. I enjoyed building it, and felt quite fiendish.

Good board, well assembled

For MCP79411/MCP79412 Real-Time Clock/Calendar Breakout Board

The board was well assembled and shipped promptly. Works well.

Great module, great library, easy to use!

For MCP79411/MCP79412 Real-Time Clock/Calendar Breakout Board

I finally found a project to build around this module. It was a snap getting the module working and making use of Jack's library and examples. I had the module running in about 10 minutes, no joke. I hope you get these back in stock so more folks can enjoy them. Also, board quality is top notch and assembly is truly outstanding (wished my boards looked this nice). If you want an RTC module, just buy this right now, ok? You won't regret it. Review Image

Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad the RTC worked well for you. Interesting looking project, I wouldn't mind hearing more about it. I had a large order that wiped out inventory; more boards are on the way but most are already committed to working off the backlog, so I've ordered a second batch as well.

Great little RTC!

For MCP79411/MCP79412 Real-Time Clock/Calendar Breakout Board

I was able to get this breakout board wired into my Arduino project in just a few minutes, and I had time synchronization in 2 lines of code. Great little package and very easy to use.

I've used the RTC's SRAM to record events and the EEPROM to store project settings, and the API has been very easy to use. I have not experimented with the advanced calibration features of the RTC yet, but I am delighted to have sub-second synchronized time for my project.

I'll post a link here in the blog post covering this project.

Geek Humor at its best

For "One Million Ohms" Microcontroller Project Kit

This is a classic electronics geek joke, executed extremely well. It will have a proud place on my desk at work. Also, I really appreciate that the hardware and software are open source, so it is completely hackable. Jack's microprocessor code is a great example for Arduino fans looking to scale down to the ATTiny.

Great kit for beginners

For "One Million Ohms" Microcontroller Project Kit

I bought this for my 10 year old son. He really enjoyed soldering it together, and found it easy to solder, as compared to other kits he's tried. The price is great, and it's open source. I certainly recommend it to everyone.

Just a fun project

For "One Million Ohms" Microcontroller Project Kit

As the description says, a great gag gift or conversation piece. Comes with all of the parts, and was a just a simple project to solder together. For kids or people just getting started with electronics, a great project to start with.
