thanks


Great directions, very easy to follow.....I was waiting on the latest set of pics addressing the shield, cable and pin orientation. I have acquired a row of pins, now to attach them to the shield......then.......some advise or step-by-step stuff on programming the control board.

In case I haven't thanked you...thank you....thank you....thank you.

Have a safe and joyous New Year celebration, Terry.

Me....it's a feat when I am still awake at midnight.....
