Parts arriving!

A project log for Word watch

There's not much that's more EDC than a watch. LED matrix-based word watch, inspired by Daniel Rojas's micro word clock recently on the blog

I placed one order with Adafruit and one with SparkFun last Tuesday, for parts for all three of my Trinket EDC Contest entries. Unfortunately, SparkFun wasn't offering USPS Priority Mail Express International for some reason, so I had to shift stuff around so all of the things I needed right away were in the Adafruit order, for which I could use the fast shipping. It arrived at the post office this morning; I'm going to go pick it up tomorrow. Here are the relevant parts I ordered:

Yes, that Teensy is relevant. :D

With the parts arrived/shipped, all three projects will be going ahead even if they miss the contest deadline.

Also, as I said in a comment, the MAX7219CNG is just in case I can't get it working without, because it would make the watch way bulkier.
