It seems that you get quite a lot of tech here for the price? Seems
pretty decent that you can pickup an ARM processor, temp sensor and all
the other bits for around £30.. I presume they are shifting quite a few
since that seems like quite a mass market price?
I noticed a munin script in the ekeyd download - haven't tried it, but
the quantity of variables you can monitor from the device seemed quite
impressive. Who would have thought you would have wanted to graph the
temperature of your random number generator, but for those who do, you
are in luck...
