One of our contributors Danny Benedettelli, has been working on a new sensor for the NXT, the NXT2WiFi
Now there are quite a few other WiFi sensors for the NXT out there, but this packs a whole lot more on board, over and above basic communication via WiFi.
Now he has a protoype already working, but is going down the crowdsourcing route to fund a first run of 100 units. Here's your chance to get in early and help make it a reality. Once he gets to his funding goal, the orders will go ahead.
There are several tiers of support you can choose:
