The Chumby has landed!
This afternoon I arrived home to see a box on the doorstep. The return address was from the Maker Shed. That could only mean one thing: The Chumby has landed! We cracked the box and checked out the stuff inside. After going to the hypnotist show at the school and doing strange things on stage, I felt surprisingly motivated to assemble Chumby guts until long past my bedtime.
Here are some build notes. I didn’t take any photos, in large part because of the very helpful images already taken and posted to the Make Flickr Pool
