Hi Rob, Joe, EbNaut,

I would certainly like to see a write-up on Joe's setup along with
any relevant schematics if available.

Yours too, Rob, even if (maybe) it is more than needed for LF.

Wasn't someone working on a web site devoted to EbNaut at LF? I
can't seem to find that info now but I'm not fully up to speed
today. I'm semi-down with suspected food poisoning.

If not, I will up my earlier offer. If those who have had success
with EbNaut at LF will share information on what they used and how
they did it, I will offer to host it all in one place. Maybe we
could put together a LF EbNaut FAQ.

73,
Paul
