I don't think thats a new idea though, i'll have a trawl around but i'm sure i can remember a company doing those in the 70's right down to a glowing LED, i can't see why anyone 'official' would be interested, it's ummmm, not rocket science is it ?

Just found this link and here, when they do finally bow out i'm sure there will be something to plug straight in there !!

You could always be like the French guy who scratch built his own
