Sure, I was thinking of putting it into a white-paper or something if everything works out - including wiring schematics and a parts list. I personally like this rather integrated solution, everything runs off the I2C port on the digital sidecar so I don't even have to document any "custom circuits." I also don't have to write any custom PIC code or anything like that, which makes documentation and replication of my sensor module much easier.

Anyway, I'll certainly document my findings!
