Title: I have blinky! - thank you all! - Happy Thanksgiving!
Post by: winwin on November 22, 2012,
I confirm I have blinky! I finally ran a test, connected my two LEs to light strings and I have all my 32 channels working! May not be lots of channels but it is very exciting. My daughter was so thrilled and it gave us so much joy; the bond between my daughter and I felt like we had turned the clock 10-15 years back when she was still a little girl!

So a big thank you to all the folks here who took the time to respond to my posts, and a particular thank you to our member "onesmoothhead" who graciously gave me a dongle board to get me started. Many thanks too to Jim Nealand for flashing the pics for me and spending hours educating the newbie I am and for all the tips he shared with me.

My first "coop manager" was Rod R and because it was my first one, I was not sure what to expect with the coops. Rod ran a very smooth coop and he too deserves a big thank you for his time and efforts.   

My hat off to RJ for his designs to bring lights to life! Thank you RJ for everything you do for all of us and tons of thanks for those sparks in my daughter's eyes when she saw the blinky lights!

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

The joy on the first Blink does not go away and it is awesome to hear the joy you and your daughter are having.

Congrats and have a great season and show.

I too was able to get some needed boards from the gracious members here and they are the greatest and the most respectful in helping us rookies.

This is going to be a long drive for you. I am doing this in Alabama, not Georgia. But you are welcome though!
