SPX-14379

Product Description

A mysterious device... a rogue AI... a dark secret... The Prototype is a hardware alternate reality puzzle (HARP) designed to put your puzzle solving and hardware hacking skills to the test. In other words, it's an escape room on a board. To solve the puzzle you'll need a basic set of electronics and cryptography skills – or a couple of nerdy friends. As you make your way through you'll uncover the story of a failed project and the truth about what's really going on at Spark X. Not sure if this game is for you? Checkout the review by [Room Escape Artist](https://roomescapeartist.com/2017/12/06/sparkfun-prototype-harp-review/).  Utilizing the SP250Ψ chip from SparkX, SPX14379 imprint carrier stands to be a front runner for IA and augmented awareness solutions for field applications. The board contains relevant parts for prototyping drop-in functionality with the SP250Ψ. Low power considerations make “always-on” IA possible for most devices with at least 8AH batteries or regenerative power sources. The Ψ revision adds native support for sensors and short wave transmission.
