Hi all I didn't think I'd be gone for long after selling my EZ v3 and toys. Right now I'm implementing Arduino's on the farm to monitor and run the greenhouse. I just ordered a v4 kit and am going to put it on an old Hero 1 Chassis. Would anybody be interested in the old guts that came out of the hero? I've got all boards, wiring harness, memory...
