played some TF2; @teh_u and @xpandy were there
today was a really hot day
remembered this one video from a while ago involving TF2 and Arduino and decided since I had nothing else to do and I've been playing TF2 a lot lately, I'd make something like that. Rather than use LEDs or GLCDs I decided to reuse the Cubey I made awhile ago, since he's just been sitting around on my desk for the past month or two.
His base servo stopped working and it took me awhile to realize that one of the solder joints wasn't working out well, so I had to resolder it. Without that multimeter I got awhile ago, this would've been more time-consuming than it was. The moral of the story is, if you're gonna solder something, do it right the first time.
And thus TF2-reacting Cubey was born. Reacts whenever I get a kill, resets whenever I die. I played about an hour just now, and this makes it a lot more fun, kinda like a little TF2 mini-game that only I can see.
