Tutorial - Laser Tape Measure Hacking about 9 years ago

Clever.

News - Arduino: The Documentary about 10 years ago
Compared to one of my first jobs programming 8080 assembler and burning the code into 256 byte EPROMS the Arduino is dream. I will gladly pay a penalty in execution speed to see results so quickly. Besides who wants to use paper tape these days?
No public wish lists :(
