First of July! Have a good un, enjoy some beers!

I was a smidge too young to take in his genius at the time. I knew he was great, but not why. I’m glad to finally get a lay on him from this.

Any of the old salts want to tell us kids your memories of him?

So, I've kinda hosed myself.

Last sliver of the Instrumentation college course to finish off and get my mechatronics cert. Load Cell exercise to complete, use an Arduino and load cell to make a Wheatstone bridge sensor measurement device & verify the operation. handy enough.

Dumbass here thought he had the parts and left it to the end. I now know I'm short the HX711 amplifier (the harvested weight scales has some arbitrary straight to LCD display thing) and the bbc Microbit.

So far, so annoying, but nothing a browse of Amazon & wait can fix, right? Well, I'm off to Leipzig early Monday morning for a conference, and won't be back until Sunday week.

So my options are...

1- find the missing parts, find somewhere in Dublin to work on the exercise (wire it up, photograph it, document it) between now and Sunday

2-Bring my kit with me to Leipzig, find a spot there that sells the kit, build & document it there.

3- cuss my luck and qualify in August.

Am I missing something stupidly obvious? Is there anyone that'll ship the parts by Friday morning? If I get to Germany can I find a friendly makerspace that'll put me up for a few hours to get it done?

Terminal 1 car park, the shop in there. It’s gone! Looking across at a wall of 4-5 vending machines.

Anyone know if something’s going in or is that it?
