Done Running Till RnR 2013

I ran a decent 1 lap today and it marked the last run till RnR 2013.  For Thursday and Friday I have to rest and recharge (also pick up my packet).

Yesterday I mentioned I finally made my arduino project, well, although that part is true, I continued on and killed 5 Atmel chips in the process, after last night I narrowed it down to maybe too much current going through the atmel chip, now I think the new power supply I have may not be producing clean power.

I went back to the tried and true 7805 and an L78L33ACZ and it worked fine.

Now I plunking some cash down to restock my spare atmel chips.

Kind of frustrating but this lesson needed to be learned.
