2 External Displays on My Macbook Pro.

I am lucky enough to have 2 external displays so I bought an adapter for my Macbook Pro so I can connect both at the same time. I bought it on eBay:

Happy New Year’s Eve

I am waiting on some ultrasonic module sensors for my robot.

I bought them on eBay:

The estimated delivery is Wed, Jan 02.  

Hope you have a good new year.

Ultrasound sensor board not working

I have a problem with the octosonarx2 circuit board.

I may have messed it up because I think the ultrasound sensors are working ok. I got a pretty cool soldering device that holds circuit boards in place and also some thinner solder. I think I may have messed up the octox2 board by hooking the wires to the arduino incorrectly. A replacement is not available because it’s been on backorder at tindie for a week.
