LittleBits - magnetic circuit board

[MarneMath]

I was doing some online early-ish Christmas shopping for the kiddo and wife-o. I randomly came across this:

I thought it was pretty cool, and I figured some people here would appreciate it too :).

(For those who don't wish to click on the link, it's basically magnetic circuit board that has various modules.)

Yes, I saw this some time ago. They also have a Korg synth kit, a kit for internet control of devices and one for Arduino and they all work interchangably

ala LEGO electronics.

On a related note, there's a robotic cubes kit by another company that is also very cool:

and lastly, there's the IOIO card that can connect to your Android device and allow you to control external electronics.

In addition the Adafruit.com site has a lot of other cool electronic stuff too for DIY folks.

Time to go build a TARS...
