Electronics

Hole

One of my many hobbies is electronics
.  It comes from times past when I wanted to make Animatronics.  For some years now I have tinkered around with Micro processors. (For those not in the know Micro processors are programmable Microchips.) I started with the Basic Stamp which was quite easy to learn and I did many projects with it. Trouble is the Basic Stamps tend to be a bit pricey so I moved on to try Pic programming with some success, but it proved to be more than I could handle.

I then discovered Arduino. The Arduino is an open source electronics prototyping platform which is easy to learn and very basic but fun to play with. Theres a ton of Arduino support, projects and examples on the internet.

I'm going to put together some of my projects together on this page and share my programs with anyone thats interested.

Arduino Projects

I was using an Arduino Duemilanove for my projects, but it died on me recently. So I am now using an Arduino Uno R3.

Duemilanove
I would like to make it clear that I am far from an expert at electronics or programing, so if you follow any of my examples you do so at your own risk. On the other side of the coin, if you see any mistakes or improvements that could be made please let me know.
