David Meiklejohn from\u00a0Gooligum Electronics has just launched a Kickstarter for their new add-on board called the Joey<\/a>. The Joey slips over the GPIO pins (without a header –\u00a0it’s all done with friction, similar to\u00a0the Ryanteck Debug Clip<\/a>) and sticks out to the side and provides you with an I2C-controlled 8-segment, 4-digit display. This has many uses, from displaying your IP address to providing sensor readings. Earlybirds are currently available at $11 which is great value for something so useful. Take a look at the Kickstarter here<\/a>\u00a0or watch their video below:<\/p>\n
