     @delores You'll find a use for the !Arduino. You always do. Maybe you'll build your own auto-flusher.

     @lnxw48a1 i also replaced the board that goes on the arduino, although i had a spare from when i made the same mistake a while ago. so now i have an entire spare 3d printer control board, so thats good i suppose.

   One day, I should ask what happened to the !rpi devices and !arduino stuff I bought for #GS2. I'm sure he couldn't take those items with him when he moved in with relatives on the other side of the family, seeing that they had a house rule: no more than 30 minutes of electronic devices (including phones, televisions, video games, computers, tablets, and so on) per day.

     @lnxw48a1 this rule is absurd in 2018. More than 50% of my daily task involves electronics. Not to talk about work.

     @dragnucs Indeed it is. But when they offered to let #GS2 stay there, he knew what he was in for.

     @lnxw48a1 @dragnucs given how most people use electronics, I can understand their hardline stance. but for the sake of computer literacy in $current-year, there should be some exception to creative exploration (especially with embedded boards and such). programming and hardware hacking != TV, mobile garbage, vacuous social media, mindless games, etc. a shame.

   In case anyone is interested, here's a link to the first 27 issues of "Micro Cornucopia"
   
   MicroC was a magazine from 1981-1990 that initially covered the Ferguson Big Board, expanded to the Xerox 820, Kaypro, and other BB-like units before expanding to all things single-board.
   
   Later issues moved more into the IBM compatible market, but the magazine always retained it's hobbyist bent, publishing articles on interfacing, robotics, and programming topics. It finally folded in 1990 when the publisher, David Thompson, got burnt out on being a single-person pub shop.
   
   These issues are the black-and-white magazines, the meat of the single-board computer world in the early 80s.
   
   https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ys991vu2yy1sw9/MicroCornucopia.7z?dl=0
   
   The link will be good until the end of the year at least, and I'll leave it up until I need space. !comphist !oldcomputers !raspberrypi !rpi !arduino

     @mike You have only 275 SBCs, counting !raspberrypi, !bbb, orange pi, and others, with 125 more coming next week. The 50 !Arduino boards don't count.

   @kelbot It won't be next month, but I'm sure we'll bump into one another during one of your visits to MicroCenter in your old hometown. I'll be in the little corner where they have the !rpi and !arduino devices.

   I'm tempted to get a !rpi Zero shipped here, but that would be another thing I'll have to figure out how to get home when I leave. Decided to send a couple of !raspberrypi Zeros and an !Arduino to @mike instead.

     @me I ended up ordering a !rpi 3B+, a !raspberrypi 0W, and a plain RasPi 0. None are for me, and I still want to send a couple of !arduino boards, so another order will follow soon.

     @lnxw48a1 Nice haul. If I had another. I'd make another mmdvm hotspot for my dmr radio.

   Picked up an !arduino Ethernet shield.
   
   It was built with no-lead solder. That may be good for the environment but it's terrible for build quality. It doesn't work, I need to take it into the shop and put it under the scope.

    Just got an !arduino ethernet shield made with no-lead solder.
    
    The stuff looks and works like shit. It may be good for the environment but it's terrible for making a good looking board.

      But I do see an issue with the code, a minor change will fix it.

    Set up an !arduino project to help out a person on Reddit who was having some issues getting it working. Simple SD card test, hopefully it helps them out. https://sealion.club/attachment/1490802

      Will probably offer (through his mother) to send #GS2 a couple of !Arduino boards, but I'm not expecting him to be receptive.
      
      (He and #sonOne clashed; he moved in with relatives on the other side of the family and has not been in contact since. I live ~50 miles from him, but I was not even informed when he graduated from high school.)
