The most notable thing I did on Sunday was help out with the biannual cleanup in Mankato, Minnesota. That was most of my afternoon. I got to hang out with some pretty cool people and picked up more trash than could reasonably fit in a black drawstring garbage bag.
I wound up cleaning a ravine where I found an old bus token. The guy I teamed up with, Memphis Steve, was able to identify it immediately while it was still covered in dirt and sand.
Enough background.

The Arduino
clone was attached to the Mac but the serial port was not accessible through
the Arduino IDE [Integrated Development Environment]. The program was compiled and transferred
without a problem using the Windows Laptop.
The serial port
was monitored and some Serial.print commands were added. A servo was attached to each of the servo connectors
to test that they work. The serial comm
currently shows the debugging potentiometer values but should also show the implemented
values in the program.
Arduino, shield, power supply and servo
To do:
- Replace wooden stand with larger version + mount to pie tin
- Physically install Arduino and shield
- Revise documentation
