I still have my breedboard. You know, the thing you run the traces with
wires with. Heck, I got a couple small ones that still have circuits on
them. One is a temp circuit that turns a fan on when it gets above a
certain temp.
I think my pump controller is still out there too. We used to have well
water out here. It was nasty so we had a HUGE filter. I'm talking
truck size filter. It held about 2,000 gallons of water if you take out
for the filter media.
Dang, that has been a while back there.
