Have heard from my man. The bits on the printed circuit are all pretty standard bits and pieces - a battery, some capacitors and resistors and a chip. The chip is a standard microprocessor and is set up to have software downloaded to it. The interesting bits are under the black blob of epoxy in the middle but there is no way you could get to see what they comprise of.
Looks like some of the processing is done in the sensor presumably making it as near as dammit unhackable. What I would have done if I were Abbott. Best way of protecting the user from malicious intent as well as keeping their algorithms out of sight of the curious.
Reckons he could get the pcb made for under a dollar. It is amusing to note that the cost of the really clever high-tech stuff is a fraction of all the packaging that goes around it!
