The Elegoo Uno R3 Super Starter Kit (words variously ordered) is pretty popular, among the similar $40ish kits.

Same here--2 orders, shipped same day, 2 days to WA, no surprises.

Wow that is tiny! Let us know if you find them

Unimpressed until the dude nails this fit:

From overhearing CS faculty talk about it: you can use software tools to wind up with what you need in order to code your own paraphrased version of the code. A recent grad with a cybersecurity focus would possibly have learned how to decompile and inspect sneaky code. Maybe trade them a decent...

Increase it. Because: voltage = current times resistance. Less current means less brightness. Ohm's law (V=IR) is going to be really handy along the journey, worth learning and applying as the times come. But if now isn't such a time, increase the resistance to reduce the brightness, and rock on.

In no particular order, these gave the biggest "Ah haave seeeen the light" reaction. - Moonn Good Vibes - PPCB Sanguine - Grind Customs Ultra Stoner - Moonn Time Waster - Parasit Theremin Fuzz

Same here. I won't claim that the libraries make sense, but I understand them and can easily find what I need, thanks in no small part to the bean.

Saw a band (The Wameki) last night where the vocalist just plugged a mic into a guitar delay pedal. It worked fine and they rocked harder and were more punk than Jack White ever did or was. Although, FWIW, I'd build a PPCB that had the same concept, because singers that move around a lot would...

It seems like it would work to power it up without anything connected to SCL & SDA. It's probably not dispositive that a computer would recognize it as a USB device, but pretty close. Arduino IDE would make it easy, provided the drivers are installed.

I like the “grunt” switch on the ultra stoner. In any case, it’s always better to regret something you have done….

Cheap toothbrushes have a flat bristle profile. I'm currently using a hotel freebie toothbrush for board cleaning.

I usually do that, for fear of the bare aluminum oxidizing over time. Decals stick fine. I think I used laser printed waterslide decals--it's been a few years since I did my own instead of the Tayda printing.

Maybe the $5 Mic Pre would be enough? Very similar to the above. If it's a dynamic mic for a live setting, it could even be simplified a little more. Powering it cheaply has always been its Achilles heel. I haven't tried it with a DC-DC converter. With 4 batteries it's fine.
