How I won $5000 at a Facebook hackathon without writing a single line of code (opencompute.org)

That is pretty awesome, I never knew Facebook did hardware or would even imagine that they would totally open source it. Really cool to see the hacker mentality even in the hardware community. I am looking forward to see what they are going to come out with next...
It states that a group of Facebook engineers started the project but it may not be an official Facebook project that is actively maintained or even associated with that company.
I think you wrote a few lines of code. :)

Cool project and neat execution.

Haha thanks. The point of the blog was that we made the design too complicated wanting a microcontroller and innate intelligence in the tool when really all we need were flashing LED's
Thanks for sharing and a really good overview of what you did during the hackathon.
