[time-nuts] ThunderBolt Display

[Chris Albertson]

What was the problem you found.  Other then a "new to you" platform?  I'm
trying to understand why reading serial data would be hard.

An advantage of the Adruino is that you don't need to make a PCB.  Even if
you want to do something like add a graphical display or and SD card for
logging they just plug in, no solder required.

Of course the pre-buillt display is even easier but can't be modified.

One of my loner term goals is to move lady heather like functions onto a
small uP based device.  It seems wasteful to use a PC for this.
