Well I found a dead monitor at work. I cracked it open and found three dead caps. I replaced them, and viola, working monitor. Now... I need to ask if I can keep it.

A minty boost.
A few months back, I brought some friends to a Mitch Altman soldering class. He brought kits, and while my friends were doing theirs, I decided I'd make something.
Thank you ladyada. Well, her company provided the kits. And here's the kit I built Minty Boost. I assembled my minty boost into an altoids tin. There's room for a spare set of cells in there too.

Shifing a bit. Lots of bits.
Well since I am out of instrument type op amps, I went ahead and dug out my shift registers. I got it working.. after finding out you need to power all the power lines.
Here's the instructable I refrenced when I ordered the shift registers: http://www.instructables.com/id/The-74HC164-Shift-Register-and-your-Arduino/
I'm going to need to give this another swing soon.

Testing sensors.
Well I bought some pressure sensors. In hopes of building my own altimeter. When motorola says 5-25mv output, they aren't kidding. The mpx2010 has an output that seems perfectly tuned to feed an opamp. Time to learn opamps.
Here's a link to the datasheet: MPX2010
