A new way to make sophisticated devices

[RKC]

G'day,

I came across this interesting web site today
http://www.netmf.com/gadgeteer/
http://www.netmf.com/gadgeteer/about.html
and it seems to me as something the electronic hobbyists who construct metal detectors, or who want to experiment with metal detectors, could make good use of.

Any ideas how this resource could be utilized to come up with boards for a metal detector?

Regards,
