...I don't think I've been this excited about getting a new gadget since I got a ZX81 about 30 years ago.

I have no idea what I'm going to do with it, but I know I'm going to enjoy doing it.

I've ordered the break out kit, a bread board, a soldering iron and some electronic components.

I'll be spending a quite a few hours over the next week or so in my man cave (otherwise known as the spare bedroom) making something. Like I say, I don't know what yet, but it will probably have some flashing LEDs.

Hook it across the 12v strobe output of your burglar alarm via a relay and use it to monitor for a pin going high then use a script to send an SMS to your phone.

Put it in your drawer and forget about it.

That's what most Pi owners do 🙂
