Great Weekend!

Saturday was a lazy day, but Sunday we got a lot accomplished!

• We got the Christmas light box finished, tested, and hung on the wall.


• Installed two 20amp breakers and two wall GFCI outlets for the light box.


• laid out all the Christmas lights and tested them.


• Hung the Christmas Tree topper on the outside of our chimney.


• Made a cute pumpkin out of a Tide Pods container.


• Fried my computer.... Well maybe not, but the power supply is bad.. Thank goodness it's new and under warranty,  just have to wait for a replacement.

Here is my weekend project.

Knight Rider

Here is a little sketch I made for my Arduino of the Knight Rider lights.

Keyboard Tray V2 with Arduino

So I made a Keyboard try a few weeks ago, but was not happy with the way it turned out.  There were a few things that I found that I wanted to add.  So this is the next version, added two CAC readers and an audio switcher to be able to choose from headphones or speakers. There is a USB hub inside the tray that powers the three items and an Arduino.  The Arduino is used to power and control the lights on the top..

Steelers in Trouble!

There's a black cloud hovering over Heinz Field, and it sure isn't carrying a bunch of Terrible Towels. All the black shirts in the stands on Sunday afternoon drove home worried and stayed worried. One rough loss was followed by another with the news that center Maurkice Pouncey will be gone for the season after suffering a knee injury. The organization was excited that David DeCastro, the top draft pick who missed much of his rookie season in 2012, was back on the interior of the offensive line; now, though, that unit won't be at full strength in 2013, either. This franchise always fights back; let's see how Six-burgh responds.
