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.
Yeah I need to stock up on some parts. Will check out the one on Vulcan. Spent fifty bucks on grab bag assortment of sensors and motors and steppers and led's from ebay, so those should be hopefully fun when they get here.
I used to buy all sorts of electronics supplies at the radio shack on niagara falls and Sheridan. Now that that one is gone, I have no idea where get electronis supplies in buffalo. Oh wait, I take that back - there is a cool electronics and radio supply store on Vulcan in riverside behind the old grainmills on military. There are also some awesome surplus electronics shops in Toronto.
oops. I swear I was on (e:joshua)'s page!
Nice blinky device! But hey, smile!! You are on candid camera. ;-)
Happy birthday to your grandmum!
