My phrase for the day is: "Yeah, I went down to Chinatown on Saturday
to see a man about some parts." It's a pretty cool little shop at
the back of 269 Canal St.
I picked up a 12V power supply, a multimeter, a wire stripper, a few IC
sockets, and a 9-pin female serial connector. Rock.
I was also able to get four free samples of the PIC16F819 chip online
from the manufacturer. Don't know why they're handing them out,
but whatever. That'll give me three to burn up for the
semester. Hopefully, they'll arrive soon.
Operation Mike's Robot Army is off to a good start.
