[TriEmbed] Fwd: Strong Code Hand for bounties on Oak Project?

[Scott Hall]

I think this compares closely with another product on the market:  the eRIC
Nitro.  It is essentially an Arduino Pro Mini with a eRIC module on it
(Easy Radio Integrated Controller).

With a built-in bootloader for programming over-the-air, it may already be
ahead of the digiStump.  Yes, the bullet above says there is a "FTDI friend
connector" for programming, but the author of the article now has a
over-the-air bootloader.

Here is a link to the article, if it will pull up for you (subscriber's
only?):
