There's a power failure in our area this morning, so what to do... Hey, let's take the staff out for breakfast! So since the phones are down, the server is down, the lights are out, and there's a sticky-note on the front door saying as much, we're not open. Not for another hour or two, […]

So today we have a nest. And some other things, like a programmer. If you take the programmer you can program the cleaning wire nest and the code will travel through all the little coils and come out the other end all transformed and golden too. It's almost like enlightenment. And then it will suitable to enlighten the red-green LED too.

We normally use an AVR STK500 in HVSP (high voltage serial programming) mode, […]
