Hey! They sell Quickstarts....we USE Quickstarts! What a GREAT opportunity to get the "projects not processor" word going in Instructables!

The Instrucatables contest page is here.

I bet they will be up tho their ear-balls in Arduino projects....how about showing some Propeller LOVE??? I think it runs until November 11th. Plenty of of time even for the most procrastinationistic among us. :innocent:

Fire up the irons and reach down to your DIY-cowboy roots!!

YEEE-HAW!!!!

    Excellent idea..... "DIY-cowboy roots" - ok, I deserved that one... but it's true

    "Cowboy roots" - it's well deserved. I used to buy leather supplies at Tandy (leather work one of many obscure hobbies I've acquired over the years). I just checked, we still have a Tandy store in the area.

    Well, crud. Now I have a perfectly valid reason to finish my "Shack-able Scavenger Hunt" project. It's perfect for this contest since you can buy everything at Radio Shack (or at least you could a year ago....)

    Nicely done instructable and a very interesting project. I need to check it out more when I'm on a real computer and not my tablet. ?..plus vote for you if voting is still open.
