I was expecting something big, like maybe a wedding announcement? What was the reason for the vacation, you stated previously that you would share it to us.

Regarding the Arduino breakout shield, could you add a led for the communication pins too in a future version? Now it's quite hard to see if and how long a program upload takes, as the surface mounted tx/rx leds are hidden under the shield. One led would probably be enough if it could show both signals, although two leds would also be cheap enough. Btw, why an RJ45 connector for the temperature sensor? Welcome back :)

The specs on this thing are perfect for the many who are pushing into the limits of the Arduino's Atmega168. Why have I not heard of the Sanguino before?

Can I use mega324p,mega164p for Sanguino v1.0? In that case, do not I become it if I do not change firm ware or Win-API? About Sanguino v1.0.

Can I use mega324p,mega164p for Sanguino v1.0?
In that case, do not I become it if I do not change firm ware or Win-API?
