Good catch, Pete.  I did get 40 of the LEDs with internal resistor from PHAnderson as well as some spare serial cables.  The 9v battery with the heavy duty 9v snap connectors (270-324) and the size H coaxial DC power plug (274-1571) with a 9v battery make a good power supply.  I have a BBB kit with me and can stop at several Radio Shacks on the way home to make sure that's what I currently have.  I'll try to pick up enough for 5 or 6 sets.

Also good Idea from Steve:

> I have an idea for a group project. Since there has been interest in 
> balloon flights and collecting more data, how about we make that a design 
> project for the workshop gang? 
> 
> We could work the project from the start - brainstorming about what kind of 
> data to collect and other things to do with the micro, 
> Through the requirements capture phase, 
> Into the Design phase, 
> Into the Coding phase, 
> and into the testing phase.

> 73; Steve, N3SB 

McHUGgers, let me know if you are coming so we can make sure we have enough space.

Rich, N3III
