Had a long weekend off over the weekend, so didn’t get much work done on the Nome, spent a lot of quality time at the beach or in restaurants.

I did get a chance to do some soldering warm up, whilst picking up a new soldering iron, I grabbed a couple of quick $10 velleman kits. I put together a metronome, which was a nice challenge due to the header for the chip, so hopefully that will have got some of the muscle memory back.

I now have all the parts I think I need, I’ll compile a static page to list them all over the next few evenings.

I’m planning on spending an hour or so every evening this week, working on LED’s and diodes. So aiming for next weekend having a finished unenclosed arduinome.

In true geeky fashion I’ve been thinking I might record timelapses of the process using gawker. But more on that later.
