I just found out I won a Halloween contest- woohoo!

I won one of the new MAKE programmable controller kits for my Fett costume tutorial.

Here's the deal: http://www.instructables.com/id/E2CH7OUWRJEUKIKKXA/

Couldn't have done it without you guys!

Sweet!! Congratulations

Hey great job dude, nice tutorial! Let us know when you get the kit.

Thanks! I have a special project I've been thinking about that's perfect for a microcontroller....

congrats! your guide has been most helpful in my own attempt at a cardboard helmet.

Congrats on the contest, dude! And awesome work on your costume!

Good Job. I had a good time checking out your comprehensive tutorial. You are definately the "Paper Master".

That is just to cool!! Congrats!! You'll have to keep me posted on the project, that board sounds like it could be a lot of fun to play with.

Well I've been wanting to make a Stargate Horus costume for some time now- except I want it to have a full animatronic head! I already have the servos and I've even got all the movements/mechanics figured out. Of course the head will be made mostly from cardboard. Heck, I'll even do a tutorial.

The other things that could be done with this controller would be an R2 (who wouldn't want one) or even something like a full animatronic Predator.....

Here's the skinny on the controller:

It has eight analog inputs, eight digital outputs and four servo outputs. Pretty cool stuff.

Congrats! That's a cool prize!

Cool bro, everytime I enter a costume contest I get beat by a girl in a thong or something like that... glad you won!

I wouldn't mind getting beat by a girl in a thong.....















Uhhhhh....... What I mean is.... ummmmm......... Gotta go!
