I finished soldering together my microcontroller board and the prototyping shield which fits on top. The microcontroller board you can't see in this photo, it's the first layer.
Soldering is a lot of fun, it turns out.
Now, the little switch on top of that board I can read from inside of programs on my computer, like so:
Not bad for a first little project.
I'm going to construct some camera triggers, so that I can take pictures from sensors like motion, heat, laser, etc.

So, stuck here by myself this weekend, (e:James) is on vacation without me :)
Plans:
1. Read a bunch.
2. Code.
3. Eat a lot of junk food.
What else?

Paul, yeah :) I'm having a lot of fun!
I had one of those radio shack 101 electronics experiments kits as a kid, but this is much better, even though I have to brush off my C programming.
microcontrollets are so fun.
Hmmmm.. so you are building the next light-heat-motion sensing Frankenstein.
