Arduino

Just a quick public service announcement (PSA) that the Arduino H Bridge is sharp and pointy.  Both my daughter and myself hurt our fingers but only I was lucky enough to draw blood when one of the H Bridge pins got stuck under my finger nail.  I mean look at this insect looking pointy bastard.

All that pain and blood was worth it as we did finally get the lesson 10 (Zoetrope) from the Arduino Start Kit working.  We couldn’t get the example as shown in the book to work because we didn’t understand how the H Bridge worked.

The leaves are starting to change, the days are getting shorter, and the garden is ready to harvest.  That means fall is here in all it’s glory.  It also means my summer sabbatical is over.

I spent my sabbatical teaching myself mobile phone development and working on Arduino projects with my daughter.  While I enjoyed my sabbatical I’m looking forward to working again.  It feels good to serve others and be rewarded with multi-coloured certificates of appreciation with The Queen or Prime Ministers faces on them on them (i.e  money).
