Unfortunately, I have been really short on spare cash. December ended up being rather expensive.
I need to get some acrylic and then I can sort out the cover.
will fit the screws in their temporary location as soon as my dad is done watching ncis.

Right, took the plunge and hooked the sunpak flash up to my NIKON. Have been doing research online for about 2 weeks to assess if this is a safe idea and it seems the thyristor controlling the hotshoe can handle 250v unlike the cannons. More on my blog though.
Fitted the screws and will post pics in the morning

You better hurry. I am packing it to go away soon.
I am replacing these:
with these:
and will be doing away with the infernal piece of metal they are mounted too:
when I get my acrylic.
Edit: That Bar Graph i mentioned a few posts back is going to be turned into a temperature probe. You get celcius graded temperature diodes and I have a schematic to feed one into an LED driver chip to drive the bar graph.
