New vids: A double-update for a double-snowy Monday!

Holy cow everyone!  Two new videos on this snowy Monday evening.  Enjoy!

The first one is about the MiniPOV3.  I received a few questions about programming the POV toy, so I decided to put together a little step-by-step tutorial on adding custom messages to the flash.  If you've had any problems programming the ATTiny in the POV3 unit, this tutorial should help to straighten you out a bit...especially if you are using a Mac.

This next video is something special. I use a projector to play the Nintendo Wii, and while it's fun, I've needed to keep the console in an odd place due to the wired sensor bar. In this tutorial, I build a new wireless sensor bar that has its own separate plug for the outlet. I will go through the process of building the circuit, soldering everything together, and finally, attaching it to the projector screen. If you are looking to build a sensor bar for yourself, take a gander at this:

New vid: The MiniPOV kit from Adafruit Industries!
