[Makerspace-keymembers] April Membership Meeting [Apr 26 Minutes]

Tue May 12 12:40:15 EDT 2015

Was your cable returned? Hopefully so.

If not I have this one here that came from a much older usb CD/DVD combo
drive. I use it to charge stuff, but I can easily get a normal usb mini and
you can have this one if it will work.
