Realized I had forgotten to mount the blue ring around the dome before securing the radar eye, so this evening when I get home I went ahead & took care of that. Ordered my holo projectors and related items, and they should be along next week. This ol' feller is really taking shape.
That's better.
Anyway, it was open house night at the makerspace. I gotta make sure to bring the dome next week so the visitors can see it as Dave (the head honcho) was telling folks about it. Pretty pleased with how it's coming out. I kinda wound up giving impromptu discussions on 3D printing and arduinos to visitors, and did manage to get some soldering in on the front logic displays while waiting on a print of the front coin return (wound up being extra-long, so I just went home. I'll pick it up tomorrow).
Got home today to find that the first batch of stuff from China made it. 3 sets of flangeless 3mm LEDs, all ready to go. They even threw in a bunch of resistors which I don't need but what the hey, nice to have.
Anyhow, tomorrow I'm meant to get my arduino, so I'll be able to take care of the pinouts and dump the program to it. Heck, if the LED controllers show up, I may even be able to smoke test the rear logic display. Would be nice.
