<br>I really need to take a closer look at this Arduino gizmo. Our resident leccytronics guru is becoming interested in them too so I could have my own in-house circuit bitch soon :)<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 28 February 2011 18:55, Gene Buckle <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:geneb@deltasoft.com">geneb@deltasoft.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
