some duplication here..   but both would be really nice.

This could be cool.  If there ends up being LEDs and IR sensors on this, it would be really nice if there was an option to not have the LEDs so someone could solder in a jack to connect an IR transmitter that's on a cable, and the same for a IR sensor.  One of these in combination with blue tooth or a wifi shield could be really fun to play with... or it'd be awesome to integrate it with something like openremote.

This definitely gets my vote.

I think I read that these are already in the works. I'm looking forward to them.

The HopeRF module might be an ideal solution.. see the other thread: http://forum.tiny-circuits.com/index.php?topic=3.0

Considering all the things you can do in the 2.4GHz range and all the non-licensed equipment available, I'm guessing legislation isn't a problem.  I know there are rules about how strong signals are but the amount of low level signals shouldn't be a problem.

I'm thinking something along the lines of a zigbee or z-wave like mesh network.  Low transmission rate to communicate with some custom controls.

The benefits of having a mesh network which would allow the extension of a low rf level network, as well as multiple communication paths would be ideal for what I'm after, which will be something similar to zigbee or zwave, for custom controls/sensors.

If it's zigbee or zwave, that would be fine (great actually).  I think the biggest concern for some might be the cost of the licensing.

any kind of very low-cost 2.4 GHz communication shield would be awesome.  It would be the best if it also supports some kind of mesh network, whether that is built in to hardware or done in software.  I would presume that low-cost would likely be implemented via software.

As an alternative, I know that Atmel has a line of RF products.  Both integrated with the micro controller and separate.  Those products from Atmel can also be used with a Zigbee stack or lower level more basic stacks too.

Regardless of how it's done, a low cost 2.4GHz mesh solution is what I am looking for, because we can always build a gateway for that mesh network.

I was just curious what the temperature rating is on the processor board, and the shields.  I didn't see anything in the specs.

I'm thinking about setting one up as a datalogger and being outdoors, it could get a little toasty or chilly.

Thanks

One more thought in this arena...   an I2C stacking cable to connect multiple stacks together (each with its own CPU board).  Though this is similar to this post:
