Wow, the writeup really didn’t do this kit justice. From that and the pictures on the store I thought this was just awful: assemble a box, plug in the hdmi and usb cables, then you get to play not-minecraft because the “keyboard” only has 4 keys, rendering you unable to jump or, you know, craft.
The actual thing seems cooler though, at least. What they showed off in the video wasn’t exactly advanced (it looked like just wiring an LED up to some gpio pins for the “proximity sensor”, and then showing the idea that buttons work by connecting wires, but I guess you need to start somewhere.
It’s probably worth less than half of what they charge though, maybe about a third.
