    Laser engraving and 3D printing?

    I have an xyz printing DaVinci 1.0 3D printer and an Inventables x-carve CNC router (not laser, but I can do similar stuff), and, so far, I'm happy with both.

    garage opener bulbs keep coming loose

    Hmm. Maybe this was the issue with my Chamberlain. Both socket-tip contacts were constantly being etched, and then the traces on the circuit board for the relay contacts fried.

    IKEA LED bulbs

    I just picked up four of the Cree 4Flow, 60W equivalents (two warm, and, two cool) from Home Depot for ~$5 each. Really nice color, and, light output on both. They dim alright, too.

    electrical diagram drawing software

    I have been using Inkscape for a long time for all sorts of things. It's a free, powerful, vector graphics app.

    printer recommendations?

    I had a ~$400 HP color laser for a while, but, it died after only 3-4 years.   My printing habits changed a few years ago, so, I usually print every week now, and, inkjet is fine again.

    automation control of RGB LED tape?

    Depends on price, which is not shown. It looks cool, but, my post above shows a serial device and I bet it would be a lot more economical.

    automation control of RGB LED tape?

      I meant images, period. I tried Chrome and it was fine. Clearly, my FF install is hosed. :(   I'd want to be able to ad-hoc to that device for my purposes (no existing network).

    The Spark link has many dead image links. Not sure if that's good.

    automation control of RGB LED tape?

    I've been working on this for a little bit and wanted to use Bluetooth to keep costs down, but, I'm having comm-reliability issues. I'm now looking for a decent WiFi radio.   A wired, serial version would be easy.   First version is very bare-bones... No enclosure. Also, this runs from 12VDC.
