I see a couple of somewhat minor barriers with this.
- This might be a tricky one to do without having the actual hardware to test with.
- There is no formal API for the hardware as yet, so any developer would need to be willing to support someone else's code.
- Would require the installation of an external library (like this one).
None of these issues are necessarily insurmountable--maybe someone has the bandwidth to tackle it.
Looks like a nice bit of kit!
