MAKE: Blog: I filed it under "H" for "Toy"....

I filed it under "H" for "Toy"....

MAKE Flickr pool member wirehead writes "I'm bringing up the gen2 circuit board. This should be the sort of thing that a qualified electrical engineer would whip out in a matter of minutes. But, I'm a programmer who likes to mess around with technology, so things sometimes take a little longer than they ought to. Or I connect power to ground and ground to power. I do that sometimes, too. But now, I can program this board to do stuff, once I get the LEDs all soldered up. Soon, you will start seeing this board in my light art"... Link.
