[dorkbotpdx-blabber] Re: [dorkbotpdx-announce] Motors and servos and relays oh my! (Workshop, Sunday 24aug08)

[dan p]

True enough. Thanks Don for putting this (and the other classes) on. I enjoy
them quite a bit. After the first one (introduction to the arduino) I put
together the control for my greenhouse that I had been thinking about for a
couple of years, but didn't have the critical mass of stuff, knollege, and
momentum. I've got a few other "back of the mind" projects that will get
moved forward...

Thanks Don.
Dan.

and thanks to Eric for putting together the orders!
