 Empty board that will host the XBee transmitter |

 That's some clean solidering given I haven't wielded a soldering iron in anger for 15 years. Next up, falling off a bike. |
 Almost done with the RX board. The XBee chip will sit over the top of all this (hence the risers on the right and left). The IC you can see in the middle for voltage control. |
 A XBee in place and being programmed. It says TX because I used this board to program both the RX and TX XBees. |
 Skipping forward, the construction of the TX is halted when I break a $0.02 riser. New one on order, postage and packing $3 :-) |
 I may be lacking the riser, but I can still wire in the capacitor that's going to help me work around the issue that we can't leach enough power directly from the Kill-A-Watt device to transmit. |
