I started this project in November of 2021, and wrapped it up when I got my boards at the start of March 2022. I handed the raccoons out and they were well received by everyone. I actually had a friend offer to pay for one, so that was the first time my hobby netted me some revenue!

Since then I had fixed the issue with the programming port and uploaded the revised version on my GitHub. I tickle the one I keep on my desk pretty regularly and yet it, or any others from its litter, have needed a battery replacement (I've asked!). So I'm proud that my work into reducing power has paid off and I got to share a little bit of my hobby with people along the way.

I originally wrote this up on my website but re-uploaded it here to enter the Low-Power Challenge. It's been nice to look back on what I wrote and touch it up where needed.

Hopefully you like this project too!
