Using Hacked Wiimotes As Scientific Sensors

garg0yle writes "Scientists are repurposing Wiimotes as scientific sensors to help measure wind speed or evaporation from lakes, among other things. At about $40 per unit, the controller is much cheaper than specialized sensors. The scientists are still considering how to add storage and extend the battery life."

Re:It's not about how much it costs to make

However, you're underestimating the cost of time. Mass production decreases both the cost and time of making a specific product (or combination of products).
