I subscribe to many feeds and blogs related to Arduino and Raspi stuff and every so often I see something I feel the need to share with others. Today was my YouTube rollup day and this immediately caught my eye. The Magpie is a simple concept, pin 13 has an LED on all Arduinos. The Magpie has an LED on every pin. Debugging sketches would be just so easy with one of these as you would always be aware of the state of the outputs.
You may only ever need one of these but just think how useful and time saving it would be. Currently, the only place I can find them on sale is directly from the designer, Marcus Schappi, who runs 'Little Bird Electronics' in Australia. Price in Australian dollars is AU$37.95 plus P/P depending on where you live. As this currently equates to £26.00 plus P/P in my currency, it seems a bargain at the price until you check the cost of shipping...................AU$45.00 via the Australian Post Office. Sorry Marcus, much as I would love to buy one, the shipping costs are out of my league.
