Diodes are cool. One changed my life too! But I built a crystal radio set with mine. Many nights of listening to AM stations across the eastern part of the US. (WGN, WOR, KYW, KDKA, WABC, WSM and WBAL)
That took me to ham radio and electrical engineering. All because of a 4 cent part.
- onurcel 11y agoNice! Looks like there's always a point of no-return experience for geeks like us.
- StavrosK 11y agoAn Arduino Uno changed mine :( I feel uncool.
- AstroJetson 11y agoDon't, the Arduino is the 60's crystal set diode!! Also they are about 75 cents in 1960's dollars!!! So it's all good.
