I just pre-ordered! This looks fantastic for what I'm trying to do; reading temperatures of barbecues and smokers via wifi. I already have a working prototype using a Raspberry Pi, but of course I needed to add a USB wifi dongle and a sturdy case, as well as a beefy power supply to keep it all going. This will drastically reduce my overhead!

I can't wait!




Well, in theory you could use a small Arduino and some sort of wireless module - but yeah, Spark is more convenient.


Yes, I am much more comfortable with software rather than hardware, so the Pi seemed like a good idea at the time. Plus I've re-purposed it a handful of times already.
