I also have solder paste stencils and solder paste so we can build them hot-plate style in a class. the leonardo / leolympia is cool because its a real USB device, so it can pretend to be a serial port, or a keyboard or mouse or disk drive or whatever! -jake On Thu, 12 Dec 2013, Mitch Altman wrote: > Stuff is crazy cheap now-a-days! > > Jake -- anything happening with your cool microcontroller boards? > > Mitch. > > > --------------------- >> Date: Wed, 11 Dec 2013 14:03:21 -0800 >> From: jake(a)spaz.org >> To: noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net; sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org >> Subject: atmega32u4 arduino leonardo clones for $5 including shipping - set up a kid! >> >> for less than the price of a fancy cup of coffee, you can rescue a child >> from the boredom of not having their very own microcontroller to program. >> >> http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313&_nkw=atmega3… >> >> while you're shopping for all the kiddies on your list, get a spool of >> addressable LEDs for just 27 cents per light - and cut the spool into >> pieces whose length corresponds to how much you care about each recipient. >> >> http://www.ebay.com/itm/WS2812B-WS2811-RGB-LED-Strip-5M-150-300-Leds-60LED-… > g_Lights_Fairy_Lights&var=&hash=item35cef0cc78 >> >> and of course they will need a way to power the thing while they're >> wearing it, so don't forget a rechargable USB battery pack for only $2.53 >> >> http://www.ebay.com/itm/Portable-Mobile-Power-Bank-USB-18650-Battery-Charge… > tDomain_2&var=&hash=item565e7ded50 >> >> don't forget micro USB cables: (short or long) >> http://www.ebay.com/itm/10CM-USB-2-0-A-to-Micro-B-Data-Sync-Charge-Cable-Co… > aultDomain_2&var=&hash=item1c3813c2ba >> http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-2-0-Male-A-to-Data-Charger-Cable-Android-… > ltDomain_2&var=&hash=item1c3813efcb >> >> and here's the source to get it to do POV with one color: >> >> https://github.com/jerkey/pov_ws2811 >> >> maybe someone will make a color POV for it? >> >> http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2013/08/08/coming-soon-minipov-rgb-led/ > >
