    Any electronics form dwellers at the Coldplay concert in Dublin this weekend? Yeah, the concert was cool - but more importantly, Start on taking your bracelet apart yet? :)

    The one I got is different to the ones I saw discussed elsewhere - its all white - has no board number that I can see...

    There is No speaker/Microphone and only 2 AAAA batteries in mine (some USA concerts have an extra two 3V batteries to power front lights)

    Main chip is Atmel ATSAMD20 (with a breakout JTAG interface which might be interesting if it can be reprogrammed via it)

    Closest I can find information on is this USA one:
    http://www.instructables.com/id/Hacking-a-Xyloband-With-Arduino
    That USA one seems to have a larger circuit board and different CPU(ATMEGA88) - but otherwise does look to be an similar circuit....

    :)

    The seem to be running a wireless version of the lighting (dmx??) protocol, possibly on 868. Would be nice to make something to talk to it.
