One the most creative community members has been creating a lot of Gadgeteer modules and offering them for sale on our creations section. That latest creation is a Bluetooth 4.0 module His entry included this video of a Windows 8 tablet controlling an multicolor LED.

The second video was recently added demonstrating how to use the tilt sensor on a windows 8 tablet to wirelessly control a robot, FEZ Cerbot in this example. Thanks to Gadgeteer, all this hardware design is done without the need for soldering.

The wirelessly controlled Cerbot is pretty awesome. Is the source code available somewhere? I am sure my kids would love this.
