"I removed the USB and DC power jacks from the WL-520gU PCB. I’m planning to use the USB port solely to talk to my SYBA USB-Audio adapter, so I removed the USB connector from the
What do you get when you take a tank and stick a ton of sensors on it? You get a cool Georgia Tech Senior Design Project called AutoTank. Can’t wait to see what other projects Nate Klein, An Duong, Chris Gurley and Wink Barnes come up with.
