It must be an Easy Button. It says “That was easy”
September 4th, 2010
Haha, far too easy.

I don’t typically open these sorts of things. Now I know (generally) what kind of thing this is, but I don’t know which specific one. Off to google images!
September 4th, 2010
it’s the first picture if you know what to Google
September 4th, 2010
That’s the trick, too, isn’t it? Knowing what to google?
And I’ve never owned this, or anything like this, either, so it doesn’t help at all. Drat it, after a bunch of searching, I’ve come up dry. Maybe I wasn’t in the neighborhood like I thought I was…

Why would anyone put those I/O-pins randomly in the board? Looks ugly and it’s quite a pain to hack, I quess
September 5th, 2010
@SH: Typically, they’re for testing. Finished boards are put on a bed of matching pins, and power is fed to it, and signals are tested/checked.

That’s a flux capacitor breakout board.
September 5th, 2010

September 6th, 2010
You have to know what to Google, but you can see the logo in one of the redacted portions. Too bad I already have a good loupe.
To those struggling: read the microswitches. What has those?
September 7th, 2010
Two words… Google Goggles

this is a green control board – it makes something work.

What gave it away for me was the particular font and nomenclature for the “Side”s of the board on the silk. Having figured out the vendor and thus the line of business, it was a short step to guess the model and confirm it via Google Images board photos.
