Hi Brian,
Thanks for the comments. Right now I'm just soliciting to see if there is an
interest. The cost would include:
1. The Logic Probe Kit
2. Workshop Manual
3. Small bag of parts
4. Renting conference space for using Skypes Whiteboard
I'll be investigating with Hi Technics if sponsorship is possible whereby the
protot boards would be discounted for purchase or as donation to the workshop.
If you have some LEGO NXT hobbyist who are interested in spicing up their
robotics projects with electronics, spread the word.
Regards
Don W.
