NEW PRODUCT – SpikenzieLabs Calculator Kit. The SpikenzieLabs Calculator Kit another one of a kind, 100% original SpikenzieLabs’ kit. Easy to solder with through hole parts that it is both useful and super cool! Comes as a kit of electronic and plastic parts, after it is assembled you will have a lovely battery-powered pocket calculator. If you’re feeling extra-adventurous, the chip is programmed with an Arduino-compatible bootloader so it’s very hackable as well. Some tools are required to assemble: soldering iron, solder, and wire cutters. You’ll also want some masking tape and a hex wrench (although we just used pliers assemble the screws).
Features:
Add, subtract, multiply & divide.
No computer is required, ships pre-programmed.
It is easily modified using the Arduino IDE.
Six bright red 7 segment LED modules.
Powered by a single CR2032 battery.
Instant-on, automatic sleep, extra long battery life.

Very cool. Are the buttons and case included? They’re not shown in the kit photo.
Any chance you will make a scientific or graphing calculator? I would like one of those.
