Morning kitizen's

Came across a WiFi development kit called Spark Core, approx cost £28. Intro video here

Spark Core WiFi Development Board with Chip Antenna
Spark Core is a tiny Wi-Fi development board that makes it easy to create internet connected hardware. The Core is all you need to get started; power it over USB and in minutes you will be controlling LEDs, switches and motors and collecting data from sensors over the internet. There is no need to plug the core into your computer; you can write code in the web IDE tool and upload it wirelessly to the Core. The core uses the same programming language as the Arduino platform allowing you to create existing Arduino projects using the Spark Core.

Looks interesting, could prove very useful with the home automation project. Just need to find a roundtoit and I'm sorted

   72MHz operating frequency ? Is the thing legal, or is that why it's called "spark" - banned since 1928 ? !!

LOL,

This thing is 802.11 B G compatible. The 72Mhz is the speed of the CPU 

[JGO]

Ah yes - 72Mhz   in IT language     NOT 72MHz.
