Ah, my Smart Response XE developer kit has arrived. Time for a new project.
@odd From what I understand, they were hardware devices that were originally built for classrooms, I guess either as calculators or for things that the teacher can use to organise lessons. They have effectively been made obsolete by smartphones and laptops.
But they have the same processor as an Arduino and people have managed to reprogram them using the Arduino toolchain. So to me, it's effectively a blank hardware device canvas that I can upload custom software. I've been wanting a device like this ever since I was a kid. 🤗
