Adafruit modder builds Captain Jack's Vortex Manipulator / Leela's wrist-lo-jacko-mator for real

[![Image][1] ][2]

This impressive wrist / forearm cuff is the brainchild of [Adafruit ][3]forum member and modder Stephanie, who has built a sensor platform into the fashion accessory. The device can monitor the [exposure value][4], track your movements over [GPS][5], measure your [galvanic skin response][6], tell you the temperature, humidity and even doubles as a watch and flash-light. It was built around [Sparkfun's][7] Pro Micro development board and a boatload of sensors purchased from Adafruit. We might just build one ourselves with a radiation detector, so that we can live out our [Pip-Boy][8] fantasies down at the mall.
