Project Updates for 1/17/2014
Yesterday I received the Gyro/Accelerometer/Compass sensor in the mail (only 1 day later than estimated, but it came from China). I found out today that my order had been cancelled due to some credit card authorization error. I just resubmitted the order today and payed more for the shipping because I didn't want to wait another 2 weeks. I also ordered some more pin strip headers and some mini breadboard for my arduino protoshield.
I stopped by radio shack yesterday and bought some circuit board etchant, a couple soldering iron tips and a better pair of flush cutters. My old one looked like somebody tried cutting paperclips or something with it.
At this point, I need to get a drill press, some tinner, some acetone and wait for my card reader to get here. I still want to finalize my board design. For instance, I want to add a reset button and I may throw a 6-pin ICSP header on there as well.
I'll probably get the first 2 items tomorrow, then it will pretty much be a waiting game, but I'll probably get the reader in the middle of next week.
