The Assignment: build a wired &/or wireless network with at least two nodes. And then, of course, there was . . . . T H E R A D I O!!!!!! The network with the nodes was a piece of cake but the radio board has really just sat in the tool box and looked at me after I saw the misery that Mercedes and Dean went through to try and complete that board. It is cut and someday when I feel especially masochistic, I'll try to solder it.
The network has 3 nodes and even looks nice with the ribbon cable. More importantly it works!
