Had to share..





Upgraded to a bigger more functional toolbox today! My last toolbox was a second hand thing I got at GoodWill. It served it's purpose but its time to move on..

Now when Chuck is tossing me cool new gear, I'll have a place to put where I don't have to worry about it getting messed up. Plus I can store my current projects in the bottom part without having to disassemble everything and then have to start all over again...

Anyone looking to get this toolbox can find it at Home Dept.

Here is the link the toolbox.  <-- Click Here







More about the project:
I am currently working on getting an LCD display to give me real-time updates on lead-acid battery, lithium ion battery, current pull from the engine and other status updates from the arduinos. Chuck was kind enough to give me a couple of options concerning LCDs (one adafruit LCD Shield and a sleeker parallel LCD screen) to choose from. Once I figure out how to get the parallel screen to run, I can better make a decision of which to go with. At this point I am leaning towards the adafruit shield simple because I have the option of using the stock buttons to pull up information.
