Got an LED to blink. Sounds lame but in the 90s I had a PIC programmer and never got it to work, I tries again recently and the interwebs tells me no one got that design to work. Anyway it crushed my spirit and I gave up.
Yesterday I desoldered parts off that and with my son we got an LED to blink on my Raspberry Pi. He's keen to keep playing too which is cool.
By cool I mean nerdy and likely to get him picked on at school so I'll have to balance nerd shit with lifting so he has a chance.
