Our TINA microvillage at HAR is right across from the BlinkenArea village. Dangerous!

Yesterday, I bought two DotBlox kits and a BlinkenBadge. I started soldering up the first DotBlox yesterday and finished it up today. Pb-free solder is not my friend, but it looks pretty good. I'm going to put green LEDs on the second one when I get home.

In the mean time, I'm having fun writing software for the ATmega168 (16K flash for 64 LEDs, whoop!). Unfortunately, the DotBlox design does not include an ISP connector, so I'm making do with a not-so-neat wirewrap contraption.

The -168 supports a kind of "bootloader-mode" so I'm going to try to fiddle something with that.

Hacker camps rule!
