Raised Concrete Garden Bed

My first try at a raised concrete bed. I will be putting herbs in this area. So excited to be moving what is left of my existing herb bed that is intermingled with flowers into their own area.






I managed to find the oregano and a sprout of parsley. Maybe I'll find a little more tomorrow

Adalight Arduino Ambient Lighting Project Update 3

I decided to use zip ties that I then inserted the tails into the vents. The very bottom I taped the lights to the monitor due to the lack of vents. Seems to be stable enough and they can be moved very easily.








 Perfection!

Tiny Arduino Music Visualizer Project


Having fun with the Tiny Arduino Music Visualizer Project. The hardest part was soldering all the pins on the LED square pixel matrix unit. I have found it is not super accurate. The lights will continue to dance for a few seconds after sound is detected. Not a surprise based on the notes on the project. The arduino unit just can't be super accurate. Still a fun project for any audio fan.



Indoor Herb Update

Three of the seed cups are sprouting. I will have to wait and see if the others sprout and to identify the ones that are sprouting. Mental note to self.... "Always label your seeds when planting"
