Currently live with a Kickstarter Campaign, HackerBoxes is a monthly subscription box (kinda like Loot Crate) but comprising surprises for electronics hobbyists, computer geeks, makers, and hackers. Kits, tools, toys, and goodies to include projects like: Single Board Computers (e.g. Arduino, Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, CHIP), Retro Gaming (such as Uzebox or Hydra), Morse Code Keyer/Decoder, Hacker Multi-Bus-Tool (like the Bus Pirate), Digital Oscilloscope, RF or Laser Communications, DSP, RFID for Geocaching of General Tagging, Analog/Digital/Microcontroller Circuit Exploration Lab, Robot Platform (turtle, line tracer, avoidance nav), Logic Analyzer, Pseudorandom Number Generator, Cipher Box, Software Defined Radio (SDR) Transceiver, Controllable LED grids and cubes, Audio Synth and Sequencer (a la Groovesizer), Brainwave Light and Sound Machine, and so forth. Hack the Planet!
Awesome idea. I hope you guys get to production. It would be a fun challenge with my son to see what we can make each month.
Thank you for your support! I have taught circuits, electronics, and programming at the college level before, so I am excited about the educational impact of our offering. Please keep in touch with your thoughts. We want to hear feedback on our boxes from all subscribers, but definitely the HackerNews crowd!
