I added a detachable rs232 connector to the control board for the lamp. Prior to this the serial cable was affixed to the control board by a screw down terminal which meant getting a small screw driver out to attach or detach the serial cable to get it to interface with the PC to reprogram it. So I took care of that. I also got some foamy tape to help keep the stuff on the inside of the lamp in place once it's finished.

I've still got some details to work out. Things like running the wires and placement/securing of the two smaller LEDs that will be showing up next week. I'm debating on a power switch of some sort, which may require tools that I don't have...
