- dstick 5y agoThis looks amazing - well done! I’ve started dabbling in hardware about a year ago. Starting with the Arduino starter kit. But somehow my brain doesn’t seem wired for it. It feels like all the pieces are there in my head but I’m unable to draw the connections. I built a self igniting torpedo heater for a powder coat oven but even though it worked, I still feel like I stumbled through every step instead of understanding any of it. Like building a piece of software using SO snippets and just trial and erroring it until it works ;-) Do you have any tutorial (series) recommendations for semi beginners on stuff like this? Maybe some “hardware explained for a software developer”? :D
- secure 5y agoI’m not aware of any tutorials unfortunately, but I would recommend connecting with your local Makerspace or Hackerspace. They can often be a great resource to find other people interested in electronics :)
- rusk 5y ago> Starting with the Arduino starter kit. But somehow my brain doesn’t seem wired for it. Have you looked into Raspberry Pi. I use these for even very simple things, just because it’s so easy to get up and running. Way over spec’d of course but if you jus want to “get something done” they can’t be beat.
