Thanks for coming out to the chat! Special thanks to Nathan from SparkFun who was our guest answering all your engineering questions with Ladyada! Also, kudos to Felicia Williams for the help running the show behind the scenes!

Nothing to do with the chat (which was nuts!), but I’m totally jealous about that modular component tray setup behind you. That’s pretty sweet for organizing parts you’re using on a regular basis, or even tools. Haven’t come across anything similar here in Europe (though I probably haven’t looked hard enough either).
kevin, they’re in every hardware equip. catalog here. called ‘akrobins’ (the original company who made them being Akro) but theres many knockoffs. the original akrobins are the best tho.
Great chat session! With that many viewers an hour really wasn’t enough time Could you guys set up an email where we could email you questions throughout the week and you guys go over them during the chat?
