1.12.11 – Laser Etched Art

So, in addition to my regular workload at the Craft Tech Lab, I’ve been staying late to do more ‘artistic’ work. I wrote up a couple of quick…

uCube code – no serial

This is some code for an early version of the UCube that doesn’t rely on Serial input. Useful for testing.
