@dev_dsp neat - awesome first project. How'd you find it? -
@starsandrobots It was so quick to assemble and the feedback of my control was immediate and satisfying. Can't remember who showed it to me.

@starsandrobots my dad and I did a "reflex tester" thing where you snake the wire ring around a complicated wire maze thing -
@starsandrobots and then@mbeckler and I pooled together money and bought a Basic Stamp 2 kit, had my dad solder it together -
@starsandrobots We did basically nothing with it beyond LED and button Hello World things, but 10 years later… -
@adamwwolf@starsandrobots my first project: energy conservation! Installed heating wires and controller into couch. Savings of $55.
