Not So Fast, 2016!

So, 2016 thought it could sneak by without a post?  Well, too bad.
My unofficial follower count doubled last month, so I owe them all both something for their flappable support.  Unfortunately, this is it:

I haven't had much time for mackerspacing lately since I decided I wasn't pleased with my old psychological state.  Not sure if I'm completely happy with my new one, but I think it'll do for now.

This seems like a good time to finish one of my unfinished projects... should I complete the Amish Oddyssey game, or the Dartboard?   I flip a coin and the winner is...

Start a new project to unfinish!  I've started salvaging some electronics from the local thrift stores and ordered a crazy multi-servo driver shield from Adafruit that may or may not be the correct tool for the job, but I panicked and ordered it anyway.

I will probably start posting my experiments with servos some time in the next few weeks, months or years.  In your face, 2016.

  1. So i found your blog searching for ways to interface a dart board to a Arduino. Looks like you were making it quite a ways, just to the point of developing the game software itself?
    Anyway, i liked the humor you were sharing in the blog. I totally get that it was tough to keep going knowing no one was following it, but i like the fact that it's available for historic purposes. I'd love to see what you ended up with!

    1. Hi there. Yeah, I made it quite a ways but the design team couldn't agree on the UI. I'd like to think I'll make a decision and finish it, eventually. I'm not sure what the latest code looks like, but I had a convoluted menu system and a simple around the world game coded.

      Glad you appreciate my jokes to myself, but it was really tough to keep going because I have a short attention span. I never expected anyone to follow. But it's amusing to me when there is a new comment out of the blue, years later. I think that makes this blog kind of a cult classic, eh? I hear it's very popular in Australia. Not really.
