Re: MachineTalker, Inc. -Registration Statement on Form SB-2 Filed on August 1, 2005, as Amended on September 27, 2005 and October 11, 2005 - File Number 333-127080 ----------------------------------------------------------

Dear Mr. Spirgel:

Enclosed are three redlined copies and three clean copies of the above referenced Amendment to the Registration Statement on Form SB-2. We have the following responses to your comments, dated October 5, 2005, with respect to Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 filed by MachineTalker, Inc. (the "Company") on September 27, 2005:

1. We have added footnote No. 6 on page I-20 which identifies Bruce Pennell as the natural person who has voting or investment control over BRP Enterprises.

2. We have revised the discussion of the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004 and fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 on pages I-46 to I-47 to quantify the impact of each factor contributing to significant increases or decreases in particular line items when multiple factors are involved.

3. The amounts of research and development should not be attributed to the cost of revenue because the majority of the activities were incurred on pure and applied research. Any amounts attributable to the KBR or NASA contracts would be insignificant for financial statement presentation.

4. We have added the word "equipment" between "significant" and "capital expenditures" on page I-48. The Company intended its statement that it "do[es] not anticipate, however, any significant capital expenditures" to refer to equipment expenditures. Consistent with our disclosure on page I-6 that the Company "intend[s] to invest heavily in completing development of and enhancing

Larry Spirgel, Assistant Director United States Securities and Exchange Commission October 11, 2005 Page 2 of 3

[its] smart security network technology," the Company does expect to make capital expenditures in marketing and research and development. We have added language on page I-48 to address these planned expenditures.

5. We have deleted the statement in Note 2 of the Notes to the Financial Statements for December 31, 2004 and 2003 that the Company is "in the process of developing and implementing accrual based revenue recognition policies" and updated the Company's revenue recognition policy accordingly.

6. The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed, and at the time of shipment of products, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. Accordingly, the Company recognized revenue for milestones billed during the year ended December 31, 2004 and in the second quarter of 2005 with respect to KBR as follows: (A) In December 2004, deliverable one for project initiation, team assignment, and statement of work was delivered and billed at $60,000, at which time the Company recognized the revenue. The Company received payment for the same in February 2005. (B) In December 2004, deliverable two for the project specification was delivered and billed at $60,000, at which time the Company recognized the revenue. The Company received payment for the same in February 2005. (C) In December 2004, deliverable three for the sensor/detector evaluation was completed and billed at $60,000, at which time the Company recognized the revenue. The Company received payment for the same in February 2005. (D) In April 2005, deliverable four for the user's guide was completed and billed at $60,000, at which time the Company recognized the revenue. The Company received payment for the same in May 2005. (E) In June 2005, deliverable five for project completion was billed at $60,000, at which time the Company recognized the revenue. The Company received payment for the same in September 2005. There are no remaining performance obligations with respect to KBR.

The Company recognized revenue for milestones billed during the year ended December 31, 2004 and in the first quarter of 2005 with respect to NASA as follows: (A) In August 2004, deliverable one for completion of the development of the application software and display software for the ground station was billed at $25,000, and we received payment for the same, at which time the Company recognized the revenue. (B) In March 2005, deliverable two for the units shipped was billed at $15,000, at which time the Company recognized revenue. The Company received payment for the same in August 2005. There is a third deliverable which will be billed in October 2005, at which point there are no remaining performance obligations with respect to NASA.

7. We considered paragraphs 2, 7 and 8 of SOP 97-2 and determined that the software is incidental to the product as a whole and, although necessary for the product to function, is not a significant factor in the purchasing decision of the customer. The Company recognizes product revenue when the Company has an executed license agreement with the customer, the software product has been delivered, the amount of the fees to be paid by the customer is fixed and

<PAGE>

Larry Spirgel, Assistant Director United States Securities and Exchange Commission October 11, 2005 Page 3 of 3

determinable, and collection of these fees is deemed probable. The Company considers fees related to arrangements with payment terms extending beyond twelve months not to be fixed or determinable. If the fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized as the payments become due from the customer. If collectibility is not considered probable, revenue is recognized when the fee is collected. The revenue allocable to the software license is recognized when the product revenue criteria are met.

8. Please see our response to Comment No. 7.

9. Original equipment manufacturers do not presently have a right to return unsold products to the Company. Accordingly, the Company will recognize revenue from the sale of products to original equipment manufacturers upon shipment, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title, and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. We have revised the subsection entitled "Revenue Recognition" on page I-45 to include our policy regarding the return of products by original equipment manufactures.

10. We have corrected our opinion letter to opine with respect to the issuance of the shares under Delaware law.

Yours very truly,

                                  The Offering

         The shares covered by this  Prospectus are comprised of an aggregate of
73,367,050  shares  of the  common  stock,  par value  $0.001  per  share,  (the
"Shares") of  MachineTalker,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation  ("MTI"),  which are
being   offered   for   sale  by  135   shareholders   of  MTI   (the   "Selling
Securityholders").  We will not  receive  any of the  proceeds  from the sale of
Shares by the Selling Securityholders. This is MTI's initial public offering. No
public market  currently  exists for our common stock. As of September 15, 2005,
there are 159,017,050 shares of common stock  outstanding.  We have concurrently
applied to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. A $0.10 per share price for sale
of shares has been determined  arbitrarily prior to OTC Bulletin Board approval,
and prices may  thereafter be  negotiated  variably by each  individual  Selling
Securityholder at the time of any sale, after a public market exists, if ever it
does. See "Plan of Distribution."
