The Reverse Geocache Puzzle based on an Arduino microcontrol

[Don McKenzie]

Here's an unusual wedding present - a puzzle box that won't open until
it is taken to a certain location in the world!. The Reverse Geocache
Puzzle is based on an Arduino microcontroller.

A very interesting read.

Cheers Don...

Very interesting idea. The only place where I fault him is in his use
of an Arduino, which is the AOL of embedded development (in the Usenet
sense of the phrase).

Neat.
Reminds me of my wedding day which was also a Geocaching event!

I had to vanish during the reception dinner to go find one of our presents
in a cache half a km away.

I think I was the first in Sydney caching with an electronics waypoint
decoder back in the day.

Ah, Geocaching, those were the days...

Dave.
