RE: Re: Networked Bathroom scales?

Patrick,

If you EVER release a product that broadcasts weight over a xAP
network,
then I consider it a VITAL requirement that the payload have 256-bit
encryption AS A MINIMUM.

I have been after the same, and it on my project list - if you find 
anything useful please let me know! I plan to modify a set of 
electronic scales with an LED display from Argos -- LED is easier to 
interface electrically than LCD, and are likely to be multiplexed, 
and connect to a Rabbit to provide a direct ethernet interface.
