The Portlet project was accepted Arrow for a substantial prize through the IndieGoGo platform. If we can get enough votes, we stand to get the funding needed to move this project to the next level! Please take a moment to vote if you can!
Good news! Looks like Portlet is being evaluated by Quirky for actually becoming a real product!
Take a look! Feel free to sign up for Quirky and give some feedback on the design!
Recently created a new version of Portlet using the Linkit module! Pretty impressive little device. There are plenty of pins on there for adding new features and you can’t beat the cost.
A write up of assembling Portlet using the Linkit is now on Hackster!
Got featured in another article over at Digital Trends!

Very proud that Portlet has made it onto the esteemed LifeHacker website!
While there are a few Portlets out there happily cranking away as Reflow Ovens and advanced Light Controllers, for the most part the poor project seems to be accumulating a thin layer of dust. An inglorious end for a project with such potential and such a ridiculous amount of effort poured into it. So we are now publishing all of the files! Head over to the Portlet page to take a look at all that is there! If you’d like to build your own, please consider buying the case from us to help support the project.
If there is enough interest in Portlet, we will happily help to build the project into something bigger; more revisions with new features, more documentation, etc. (maybe even a nicer website!)
Hope this helps you with your projects!
Enough procrastinating. Time to hit “Submit” and see what happens to this little fella:

Thanks for taking a look! Have a great day!
Cool. Still have to learn how to use GitHub proficiently, but this is at least a good way to distribute Arduino sketches. The Yoghurt Sketch for Portlet is posted
I have conquered uncounted numbers of mechanical problems, defeated numerous electrical difficulties, and beaten dozens of computers into submission. I refuse to be conquered by these “intuitive” website builders.
But silently, I curse the web …
