As can be seen across the blogs of the UpCycle It Design Challenge, our Kits have been arriving!  Woohoo!

 

I have had some PC hardware issues and I am trying a new camera that was less than what I was hoping for so some of the pictures may not be of the quality I prefer to provide.  I apologize and am working to rectify.

This picture can not come close to sharing the excitement of seeing the UPS truck drive down our drive to deliver more Element 14 goodies!

A zoom in on the 3 boards.  In the top two you can see the small Intel Edison modules still in plastic & attached to the boxes.  Very exciting!

I look forward to testing out the key sensors that I want to use in this project and sharing with you soon!  In addition a humidity sensor will need to be acquired.

    One of the joys of participating with Element 14! Christmas comes more often depending on if you are willing to put the effort in! :-)

    Yes, a box of toys brings joy to the heart and a smile to the face. I look forward to seeing the Grove bits tested and put to use. DAB
