# Sponsoring the project

All development on this firmware is done for the greater good of mankind.
You can use it for free. However, if you do feel the uncontrollable urge
to contribute financially to the project, you can do so through
[this PayPal link](https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/bedsidelamp2).

This account is used for acquiring hardware and software licenses that
I use for my open source development. Specific hardware that I bought for
this project were:

* An extra lamp for development and testing, so I don't annoy my wife
  with buggy deployements ;-)
* A dedicated serial to USB adapter, connected to the development lamp.
* a simple 8 port logic analyzer that helped me with reverse engineering
  the I2C protocol of the front panel.
* Various wires and buttons.
