I machined the slot for the controller last night and I'll try to finish off the control box tonight or Sunday. I think I might try to 3D print myself some button extensions . I've been taking pics along the way, so when I get time I'll put together a build thread.

Wow... a bunch of typo's in my last post. Now I have to put a disclaimer in for my sig.

Dom-
If you aren't able to find any headers, I'll have an extra. Tracking shows that my package is finally (after 3 weeks) in Canada, so should have it early next week. You can also use the 8 pin female stackable headers, and lego it like you said if you have enough extra.

lol... If I had a 3d printer and a CNC in my house, I'd NEVER leave it, PLUS I'd finally have a reason to learn how to use solidworks more in-depth. Looking forward to the pic's.

new small bump in the road... does anyone know of an online source for weld-on 4, or small quantites of methylene cholride & glacial acetic acid so I can make my own? Just read that weld-on/methylene chloride has a shelf life of 2 years. None of the glass shops here were much help, and not sure I want to chance using my 8 year old stuff.

Woohoo! Progress. After several days of fiddling and fooling around with some code issues I finally got my Arduino running the code. Turns out the V1.1 code isn't Mac compatible and I've been trying to do this on my computer. Had to move over to the wife's. Here's the board up and running:


and a close up of the screen shot:


I'm able to navigate through everything, set the date and time. I still need to get me some tall header's to be able to stack multiple prototyping boards so I can wire up my temperature sensors and future Ph sensors as well.
My LDD drivers are shipping on the 29th not the 26th like I thought. I'll also be getting my HLG drivers for the XM-L LED's.
I'm excited!.

LDD's and HLG driver officially are en-route via DHL. Good thing as I hear a few other suppliers who had gotten shipments have already sold out again and the eta on next shipment is Arpil

Shot in the dark but... Did you order any extra LDDs? Long story short, I need three more. I'm going to be putting a mouser order through but thought I'd ask!

[daplatapus]

I did get a couple extra's, what size did ya need?
