Thought I would take the opportunity to start a new thread, since there is this great new area for posts!
I've been following the threads and the project for quite a while, but found myself being A.D.D with this project. Finally sent off the schematic to Dorkbot and received 3 v3.2 boards. Last night, I started assembling the board. So far so good. I'm following the assembly order that Bryan provided, I've complted resistors, micro capacitors, potentiometer, reset button, and shift register.
I'm currently planning to do the base HeaterMeter, once I get that up and going, I'll decide whether to continue with the LinkMeter/Router, I figure baby steps is best. I'm probably most nervous about troubleshooting the hardware, I'm a software guy and very novice hardware, so I'll cross my fingers that it will boot up on the first attempt.
I also need to do some reading about how to initially flash the board, haven't really looked into yet, but I think I saw a post about flashing from the Arduino. Unfortunately the search functionality on the forums is caput, once that's fixed I'll be on it.
Thanks for everyone's hard work that came before I and wish me luck!
