Ooooh its flexeeeble - Seeeduino Film, maybe the first Arduino(TM) compatible board on FPC

Got any great ideas of how to use a flexible board Arduino - these guys are making "a few for inspiration" and sound like they are willing to share their new toys with people with awesome ideas!!

@Darren,
Yeah I get that. I guess I'm not sure how these work together to form a system.

(I posted on DIY flex a while back) What I found is that flex solves a very specific packaging problem, I'm a little confused about how Flex solves a general-purpose problem.

Cool would be: A Flex Ardupilot for MAV, or a Service on Seeed for printing Flex...

At the far end is formed into a ribbon cable, and just over halfway back is a ZIF socket (zero insertion force) for another ribbon cable. So there are your connectors...

Cool.
The point of flex is to be the wire, this would be more interesting if it had a few connectors coming off for gps, radio, servos, etc.
I like the buss idea, if it it useable, it might catch on.

that looks cool. I wish that components would be a bit smaller, especailly that usb connector :P

But anyways there are many places that people could use those flexible boards.
