That is pretty awesome, I never knew Facebook did hardware or would even imagine that they would totally open source it. Really cool to see the hacker mentality even in the hardware community. I am looking forward to see what they are going to come out with next...

I think you wrote a few lines of code. :) Cool project and neat execution.

Haha thanks. The point of the blog was that we made the design too complicated wanting a microcontroller and innate intelligence in the tool when really all we need were flashing LED's

It states that a group of Facebook engineers started the project but it may not be an official Facebook project that is actively maintained or even associated with that company.
