Martin Waller’s Shackbox

Rather like the excellent D70Box project (see elsewhere on this blog) the Arduino Shackbox project was also published in Practical Wireless.

This really useful device can be made for around £15 and provide a handy GPS controlled clock, locator information, Lat and Long, Worked All Britain Square and much more.
