Ouch.. I've seen several 301s around, but this is the first 601 I've seen here. Best of luck finding replacements!

One is not necessarily easier than the other in my opinion. Arduino is good for learning basic logic controller stuff. You can buy them at RadioShack, hobby shops and some book stores, so if you burn one out, a replacement is right down the street. They are best suited for less complex projects, but with a bit of work, you can make more complicated things work and learn a lot in the process. I did some lighting effects on Chris's bike, which was complicated by the need for a thread to be listening for button presses, while another thread follows very time sensitive lighting sequences. The visuals look nice, but the code got really ugly. Here I am using an Arduino to drive something like 200 individually addressable Adafruit Neopixels. The logic controller also listens to 4 button states: Pattern Forward, Pattern Backward, Smoke(AB FUEL), and Hot Streak. The raspberry pi is capable of actual multithreading. This would allow you to do the same thing by essentially keeping one thread dedicated to a button event listener, and another thread doing your basic logic and managing output.

I havent made one but it honestly should be a lot easier than Arduino. My experiences with creating artificially multithreaded scripts to control asynchronous process have been nothing short of a nightmare with Arduinos.

I've honestly never seen anything quite like that. My guess would be some sort of turbopump/atomizer combo.

Great work as always Anders! And I'm extremely jealous of the 3D printer..

I've seen some really good deals on ebay, but I'd be careful with some of these "too good to be true" deals. A perfect example was a guy who recently listed a Viper(?) engine that he claimed was mothballed and crated for the last 30 years and he has never worked on or tried to run it. A closer look at the pictures revealed that every one of the fuel lines had been replaced with new fittings and braided steel lines. I would bet that he sunk some cash it it, had a bad experience, and is looking to ditch it.

Theres a guy who goes by AgentJayZ on youtube who is sitting on a lot of parts. You could try reaching out to him

Hey thescreensavers, just wanted to let you know I havent forgotten about this. I have a couple themes that are almost done but they are causing some visual oddities that I am resolving. Thanks!

Very true. I'll add a few more themes this week

I used to have several themes with the old forum, but never really updated them to work with the latest version. I didn't really have any interesting design ideas, but if you have an idea for a color scheme that you would like to see, I'll gladly implement it

Never used or heard of them, but the price is indeed good
