Tomorrow I'm going to add a new forum to EM: "Instrumentation" and start the development thread.
I'll also comb the forums and move all the relevant threads about the MID/SG/vac gauges etc. into the new forum.
dcb asked if I can make it so non-reg'd visitors can post in the OG/MPGuino thread. I can do that, if I make the opengauge/mpguino thread in a subforum of "Instrumentation". Just to clarify, were you asking for that so people who see it at sourceforge can post?

Second: This evening I assembled my freeduino kit. Took me around an hour and a half. Captain slow! I discovered an omission in the assembly instructions at freeduino.org, but it's not rocket science.
For those who are thinking of making their own, I'll post a DIY tomorrow as well.
I'm happy to say it went relatively smoothly, and I just did my "hello world!" equivalent first program and it works! Woo!
I've never done anything like this before, so it's a good sign for others who are wondering if they're up to the task.
