I spent most of my day packaging Vivus the Robot kits, which involves unpacking lots of boxes, taking out the microcontroller, plugging them into my PC, and programming them one at a time. However, I did manage to find the time to continue working on BW Science Labs’s next kit, a mini UV LED kit that can be used to sterilize your hands (and your prized action figure collection in the basement of your mom’s house), detect counterfeit money (now hey, that’s pretty darn cool), make your teeth glow white (the most useful of all) and a bunch of other really cool stuff.

I have a working prototype and I’ve got the right PCBs, resistors (that one took awhile, darn resistance calculator lies!), etc. However, I’m working on finding a better power source. The prototype currently uses a 9v via battery clip, which really stinks seeing that I’m trying to make things as small as possible. However, once that problem is solved the mini UV LED kit will be ready for purchase on the BW Science Labs Store.
