First Post in a While. A Lot has Happened.

In the past month, I have finalized my main hardware and their schematics. Now that the planning is done, I can start working on designing the PCB. I will upload my "schematics" and other drawings and things I have later this week. For now I'm in Georgia visiting my grandmother.

My current interest(s) are a diy smd solderer such as a hot plate, toaster oven, or electric griddle. I already have a temperature sensor that I could use for a PID loop temperature controller [if anybody has one of the aforementioned heating objects, I would pay for shipping on a donation].

The other thing I have been looking into is a netbook. It would be much easier to use outside for data logging, video feedback, etc., compared to trying to haul out my normal laptop that is a 'family' computer; in other words, if I have this computer tied up, my mom is left hanging. If I got a netbook, it would be a computer I could dedicate to using for the Guiding Propeller and for long term computer projects. Since many netbooks are $500<, it would also be less of an expense if it was KIA.
