cfastie "Liz, it's great to know that you (or I guess your Mom) were well coiffed in the 80s, although I regret that you did not include photographic eviden..." | Read more » over 5 years ago
cfastie "Leslie, I will lend you anything you need. Tell me about your HEPA setup. You must already have a 5V Arduino, so all you need is three DuPont wires..." | Read more » over 5 years ago
