More electronics!!

Another productive bit of a day even though Skye (my co-builder!) was sent home from school with a funny tummy - yep! that old chestnut!.
After quickly, but properly, soldering the LEDs in with no filing to be seen it was time to program the Arduino to see it working.
Using my new netbook (xmas pressie from the wife) I had to download all the software and try and upload the program. It took me all afternoon for the netbook to pick up the COM port (?) but perseverance paid off and the result is below. I do need to solder on some wires and LEDS for the battery monitor. Like the dome displays these cant be added until a much later date when everything else is done. Little steps!!!
