Happy New Year!

We hope you had a great holiday season.  We took vacation between Christmas and New Years', so we've been off work for 11 days.  It's been nice, but, as always, too darn short.
We spent New Years' with family.  It was very good.
The Star came up with an interesting analomoly, related to power.  It seems the power draw of the extra board, and the LEDS, is too much for the Arduino on-board regulator.  It works great when running from USB power.  There are a couple of approaches to this; more later.
We've been investigating the next SPOCS GUI console.  We may have a new version in the works, more on this when we know more.

Have a great 2013!
