But are they right or wrong..or is there more to it besides a simple choice? Clem finds out with a fun-only project so nobody can argue about its purpose! A tiny electronic slot racing tabletop game! Once built with a 555 timer circuit and rebuilt with an Arduino and some simple code. Both perform the same function..but which one is better? </span></p> <p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p> <h2><span style="color:#3334ca;">Supplemental Content:</span></h2> <ul> <li><a

But are they right or wrong..or is there more to it besides a simple choice? Clem finds out with a fun-only project so nobody can argue about its purpose! A tiny electronic slot racing tabletop game! Once built with a 555 timer circuit and rebuilt with an Arduino and some simple code. Both perform the same function..but which one is better? </span></p> <p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p> <h2><span style="color:#3334ca;">Supplemental Content:</span></h2> <ul> <li><a

Both perform the same function..but which one is better? </span></p><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</p><h2><span style="color:#3334ca;">Supplemental Content:</span></h2><p
