Hacktastico!

I just placed my order for an ioBridge module and a couple of helper boards and I couldn’t be more excited.

If you are unaware, the ioBridge is a fairly new device – still in beta according to the website – that allows users to easily interface their projects with the web. This ease of use has been achieved by creating a main board that interfaces with the web and a number of smaller function boards to interface with the various I/O a user may choose to interact with.

Despite being a relatively new technology, the ioBridge has already been put to work in a couple of pretty amazing projects, namely the twittering toaster and an iPhone-controlled dog feeder.

One of the great strengths that the ioBridge seems to offer is its straightforward web interface. Being more of a hardware hacker myself, piecing together a web interface would probably be the most time consuming and least professional aspect of my project. After looking at what ioBridge offers its developers, I’m happy to say that my next project might actually look good to the outside world.

I can’t wait to post about the projects that will stem from this device.
