Things have been quite here lately – but think of it as the lull before the storm! Coming soon to a blog near you:
USB Power Shield Prototype
The PCB has finally been produced and is on the way. Expect to see a fully functional (*fingers crossed*) version in the next few days! If the board is good, I’ll make it available as a public design on BatchPCB so others can order it – it comes out to about $25-30 a board after shipping, which is a little high but would be lower if we got enough interest to do a full panel.

Tweet-A-Watt
This isn’t a brettinman.com original, but I’m working on putting together a Tweet-A-Watt and will be posting up some photos and thoughts on this excellent kit. Perfect for apartments, since we can’t get a current meter around our incoming electrical.
All this and more, coming soon!
