[ELECTRON] DIY Arduino boards - anyone interested?

[Seb Bacon]

Great idea - I'll have one, please, and I'll start dropping by at the
SOLDER group to get it built.

Is there room to combine SOLDER with several arduino students on
Tuesdays, do you think?  And do you guys have a spare soldering iron?!
(mine is in storage...)

Cheers,

Seb
