This is a nice item that I found today at Princess Auto... A grey box hiding on the bottom of a grey shelf. The phrase "Demo Kit" caught my eye, and I had to take a peek inside. I was blown away by the beautiful innards, and I just had to have it.

I recently got my packet of 50 RGB LEDs, and free 50 current-limiting resistors to go along with it, direct from China. 

I just got my shipment of stuff from BGMicro, including a ton of pinheaders!

I ordered:
1x Velleman 4x4 keypad
1x GI AY-3-8910 Sound Chip (and matching IC socket)
2x LEDs with wire and
connectors
1x 2.5" stero cable end (Digital Rebel XT Trigger?)
1x Graphical KS0108 Display
and Lots of 1x40 and 2x17 Pinheaders :)

This is the finished product, after assembly of the Breadboard Power Supply.

How I managed this was to:

I bought 3 nice, new, and almost shiny CueCats in a package deal from eBay.

As far as a tutorial for hacking CueCats, here goes.

My new Magnetic Stripe TTL (Clock + Data) Reader from Digi-Key (Part# Z2064-ND); It's an Omron V3A-4K.

This little guy will be making his appearance in some future electronics projects 

Again, at the Smiths Falls Amateur Radio Club Flea Market, I got a grab-bag of meters.
