NEW MICROCONTROLLER FUN TIME POST: AND THEN THERE WAS LIGHT

Here is a picture  from my new blog about my fun with an Arduino micro controller. You can find it at justinbeckers-microcontrollerfuntime.blogspot.ca. Like blinking lights? How about music?  Check out the rest of the post. Come on, you know you want to.

Micro-controller Fun Time

Hey Everyone,

It has been a very, very, long time since I have blogged anything.  Unfortunately I was far too exhausted each day during this spring's campaign in Alert to blog.  And I don't have any more exciting trips this summer.

However, I am starting a new hobby, micro-controllers.  They are basically small, simple computers and I thought it would be a fun exercise. I also think it will be very useful and ultimately I hope to build a few environmental sensors with them. I also plan to build my own intervalometer (shot timer) for my digital SLR.

Since I don't want to change the theme of this blog, I have started another blog for those of you who are interested in learning about micro-controllers with me. It will be pretty geeky, you'll likely see me getting way to excited about a light that blinks, or measuring temperature or so forth.
I'll try to present my trials and tribulations, post some code examples, and of course pictures and videos.

I will likely share the first post of the blog on here just to try to drum up some interest, but that will be all.

Hope all my family and friends are doing well.

Justin
