Lighted Dart Case

Bought a battery-operated set of christmas lights at a craft store.
Cut twenty small holes in the fabric of my black dart case. Ran the wires under the cloth and poked the little light bulbs through the holes. I also painted the bulbs orange for halloween.
Now I what to make the lights flash to the beat of the background music when I am at a dart tournament.

Second Email Blog

The last email blog seemed to require me to manually publish, so I am trying again with auto publishing.

Here at work, we have designed a serial to wifi device. In adhoc mode, it can create a serial 'tunnel' between to devices. I have created a program in my mower brain to allow serial characters to move it around.

Q - CUTTER ON
W - FORWARD LEFT
E - FORWARD
R - FORWARD RIGHT
T - STATUS
A - EMERGENCY STOP
S - SPIN LEFT
D - MOTOR STOP
F - SPIN RIGHT
G - MANUAL MODE
Z - CUTTER OFF
X - BACKWARD LEFT
C - BACKWARD
V - BACKWARD RIGHT
B - AUTOMATIC MODE

Email Blog

Trying out the email publishing.

Started a robotic mower a couple of weeks ago. Using a couple low speed/high torque motors to drive it and a Basic Stamp II for the brains. I have pieced together the frame work and am in the process of figuring out the electronics.

First Post

This is a blog about all the things that go on in my mind.

For starters, Jon M and I were talking last night and came up with the idea for pickles in a condiment packet. So when you order a burger at Mcdonald's, you get your pickles on the side.
We also discussed, Peanut Butter in condiment packets.

More thoughts later.
