Mosh on Ubuntu with UFW firewall

Finally decided to give Mosh a spin due to some connection reliability issues at one location. Was glad to see it simply sits alongside SSH and is a breeze to setup with the one & only caveat being I had to open some ports on the server side.

First simply install Mosh

apt install mosh

Then if you are using ufw add firewall rules to let the mosh server communicate...

ufw allow 60000:60100/udp

Jared's Arduino i2c Scanner

If I update this will likely post updates here: https://github.com/jared0x90/ArduinoUnoI2CScanner/blob/master/i2c_scanner.ino
/*
   Jared's Arduino Uno R3 i2c Scanner

   Notes
   -----
   Set serial to 115200
   Tested on the Arduino Uno R3 and several clones.

   i2c Pins
   --------
   SDA = A4
   SCL = A5
