I am exactly at your level of ordering the hardware off of the ’Bay…

I am exploring the software side of things, but there is this ONE that I have downloaded, but have to wait to have my hardware hooked up… I do not even know if it will work for what I need. I like the learning process, but it can be frustrating.

I have been hitting ToyKeeper’s firmware repository here on BLF, but still sorting it all out. Haven’t even begun to ask anyone here questions yet…

I may make a thread after I see if this will be successful for me, but as of now, just using this one…

My preparation is only some reading and waiting to get all the stuff in. When it all gets here, if history holds true, I will get busy as all get out in everything but this…. just always seems to work that way, so I roll with it…

I know EXACTLY what you mean by your last paragraph… it happens to me all the time too :)!!

EDIT: BTW this thread seems to have some quite good information:
