Finally receive my new arduino, pics as soon as I receive the ring dudes :)

Hi,
Am I to late for the party?
I'm currently building an application to authenticate and unlock windows via the nfc ring. Unfortunately I will have to wait till my rings arrive to actually test it.
If anyone is interested I can share the source (I do it anyways, when it's in a state where it can be tested...).

@RobinHuett, Nope, you're right on time mate. Private message me if you could.

I can help you test it, maybe even help you with the application itself. I had started an application of my own, but Real Life happened and it's been put on hold until Real Life goes away.

PM me your contact details and maybe we can work together on this!

Ok I have spent most of my work life in the jewelry field currently am a CAD designer, can I please get the dimensions on the ring and possible the size of the unit inside so I can build around it I will happily design some items.

Will that help out at all?

This is still a 'thing' guys, outline your idea here or message/chat me and I'll sort you out!

I had an idea about the carbon fiber rings. Could you place the carbon fiber as it's own stand alone inlay or covering on the sections of the ring outside the chips? It could be a center band or outside edge band. Maybe extend around the chip inlays in the case of the wider alpha rings. I imagine such a ring would go for a premium price on the store site.
