26 Channels, 26 Years
One of my lab-colleague friends Ryan created 15 images for our Ember Zigbee devices to run on all the channels up to 26. We jokingly attributed it to my 26th birthday today, as well as an April 1st joke. Anyways, I prefer to regard it as my birthday cake and its candles 🙂 Here is […]
