Tod from ThingM has come up with a cool new product called LinkM. It will allow you to control your BlinkM devices with no dedicated microcontroller.

“LinkM is a USB adapter that addresses two of the most frequently-requested BlinkM features:
- It enables you to program BlinkMs without setting up a separate I/O board, such as an Arduino.
- It lets you program or control multiple BlinkMs simultaneously.
Plug it in, plug in a BlinkM, fire up the BlinkM Multitrack Sequencer, and start programming BlinkMs. It requires no drivers (when used with most operating systems), additional software or hardware.
LinkM is about the same size and shape as a thumb drive. BlinkMs, BlinkM MinMs and BlinkM MaxMs can be plugged directly into it and it offers a compact, inexpensive interface for situations that do not require a general-purpose prototyping board or where an enclosed programming and control device with no exposed wiring is needed.”
