A lot of work went into making a simple looking little sign, but I wanted it to be lightweight, portable, battery powered, and run for a very long time. Mission Accomplished! Enjoy....

    I love it! I love the vintage 70's cartoon look. Great job!

    So much fun to watch.

    How do you work so fast?

    If I work like that everything will be flying all over the place. It would look like a hurricane has just blown through the shop.

    Hey Fran, I doubt you will see this but just in case . I have a question for you. Do you sometimes take off people's hands old, but quality built electronics to work on or to feature on one of your utube videos ?
    I have a OLD Harman Kordon 590i Reciever and a EQ8 Graphic Equalizer
    I have had for over 40 years. Back then it was considered high end equipment. They are in decent condition,and I have no use the them other then to look at them, and daydream about my younger days when I was crazy about music. I know you live in Philly somewheres. I do commercial HVAC and I am in Philly quite often. Particularly 300-600 block of South St .
    I would be more then happy to drop them off somewhere for you. Let me know if your interested.I DONT want to give them to Goodwill when someone like you can take ownership and appreciate them.
    Obviously free. Thank you, Howard H.
    Lower Bucks County,Pa.

    I find your voice has a very calming affect on me : )

    I like using the double-sided 3M super strength molding tape. It is truly diabolical. Watch out wherever you stick it.

    I like your style! Nice project.

    As to worrying about frying the ICs, in my work with dozens of Atmega based Arduinos, I've never killed a single one. This includes an awful lot of abuse. My experience is that they stop working when they're left sitting in something and are fully immersed in rainwater but as soon as you pull them out they start working again (immediately, well before they're actually dry). And somehow I managed to do this several times. Some of these (that have been fully submersed) have also been subjected to burning man (without any enclosures). They're old tech built with modern fabrication techniques so they're completely overbuilt. On the other side of this coin is that I've fried a couple of ARM based microcontrollers just by looking at them wrong.

    Had to stop myself from analysing the code. It does what it needs to do, so who cares how it's doing it? 😀
    Force of habit I guess. Sign is looking good!
