[PD] [PD-announce] cheap AVR/HID sensor board

[Derek Holzer]

I think Martin made this because he thought the Arduino was a bit 
overkill. It does seem a bit funny to convert a EUR 30 board into 
something that a EUR 5 board can do ;-)

The circuit diagram is pretty simple, if you can't etch it I think you 
could still build it in an afternoon.
