Things I can do with my Arduino today that I couldn't do a week ago:
a) Use a PIR sensor to detect human movement.
b) Tell another arduino wirelessly about that, or about anything else, really.

Things I still can't do:
a) Read a keypad. How hard can it be? Don't talk to me about pullup resistors.
b) Run the 128x64 graphic LCD I have sitting around. No idea what the problem there is, but I do have 2, so I might hook the other one up, see if it's a hardware issue.

And this week, in theory, I'm getting a couple of cheap proportional joysticks, so I can work on the controls for the Flying Pirate Ship of Rabbity Doom. Which is the real point behind the wireless comms.

Mmmm, Flying Pirate Ship of Rabbity Doom....

Several, I suspect :) Here's hoping you have a spare room or two in that warehouse on our return. Though we do eat meat.

Oh, I thought it was a vegetarian house. That was the one big downside, and the fact that coburg is a little far out. But given the current housing market, and the rest of the package, and the likelihood (or rather lack thereof) of finding a package like that any closer, it is awfully tempting.

Anyway. We're not back for at least a year, possibly 18 months.
