Terry && EL

After getting headlights Terry now has a lighted arm. This is using the 3 meter EL wire and a 2xAA battery inverter to drive it. The around $20 entry point to bling is fairly hard to resist. The EL tape looks better IMHO but seems to be a little harder to work with from what I've read about cutting the tape and resoldering / reconnecting.

I have a 1 meter red EL tape which I think I'll try to wrap around the pan/tilt assembly. From an initial test it can make it around the actobotics channel length I'm using around twice. I'll probably print some mounts for it so that the tape doesn't have to try to make right angle turns at the ends of the channel.
