So I've been lazying around this early summer.
I shall resume my work soon, I'm still recovering/recuperating from the terrible semester I had last Winter.
So my pending projects are:
1. Arduino Motorshield from adafruit.
I've assembled this kit but still haven't test it with the bunch of motors I have right now. Reason being is that since I'm still new with Arduino, I find it REALLY hard to understand how to hack the library or maybe it's better for me to say to store the examples provided by ladyAda into the Arduino library in my computer. Tho I've figured it by now, so I shall be working on this as soon as possible.

2. USBTiny AVR Programmer
Again from adafruit. So I bought the kit as one of the effort to learning how to program microcontrollers. This will be the second project following the first one. And this project will be about 1) assembling it and 2) learn how to use it.

3. Learn Embedded Electronics
So this is the first kit I bought from Sparkfun Electronics. And honestly I really can't wait to learn this shit.

Other Stuff
Alongside these projects, since I have to improve on my programming skills, I've decided to learn PHP and MySQL as well this summer.
Cost: TIME
Now since the summer is only 4 months, which I only have 3.75 months left, I kinda have to be very wise with my time management, especially when I have a 6-credit-graded French course alongside until end of June.
God's willing, when the project is done or still in progress, I shall post up all my works progress and share the problems/difficulties I had when doing the project and how I manage to get around with it.
So when will I start working? Hurmm lemme see. I'm giving myself until this Friday to at least, HEAT UP THE SOLDERING IRON!
