   Ordered this fancy CIE 1931 XYZ colour sensor board from Farnell for my lighting project. It's based on the AS73211 colour sensor chip. This could also be used to calibrate the colours on a computer monitor. It can't be used to measure CRI (Colour Rendering Index) values for LED lights, though. It can measure colour accurately, but it doesn't break down the light spectrum into individual wavelengths.

      Also ordered this FT232H break-out board from eBay. It talks various serial protocols such as RS232, SPI, I2C and JTAG and is designed for being hooked up to a desktop computer.

      It's a hassle to set up a Raspberry Pi or an MCU just to test some module. This looks like a more convenient way of doing it.

         Additionally ordered 10 replacement analog sticks for PS4. They should be handy for building various control interfaces.
