Super userdoers: I have a little toaster oven that I use for reflow soldering that I'd like to donate (at least for a while). Right now its on the white shelf next to the drill press. Feel free to use it for whatever (but probably not things that are edible). Or feel free to move it. Or feel free to tell me you don't want my toaster oven and I should take it home. I dunno, I'm new here. Ben

sudo lights!

by Jake

Dana donated a spool of warm-white LED tape, and another spool of addressible LED tape, to sudoroom. looks like about 5 meters of each.. so where should we set them up? the white LED tape is simple, it just turns on and lights, but the addressible stuff will need to be connected to a microcontroller of some kind to control it. Who will step up and do that? I can help with the power supply and wiring if you do the software. -jake
