No Excuse Now

kmikemoo
kmikemoo 26 days ago

FedEx delivered an gift from e14 this morning - while I was shoveling snow from my driveway.  Thank you, element14 - and especially E14Alice  (who has done battle with FedEx and UPS on our behalf).
I am now the proud new owner of an Arduino R4 Minima!  I'm still a bit amazed that one can win something cool like this Arduino just for participating in a great online community.

Now the challenge... what to build?  I told myself that I wanted to get back into Arduino.  No excuses now.  Joy  I think I may start with the RF Field Strength Meter I did back in 2019.  And then add the better detector chip that shabaz recommended back then... Relaxed

    robogary Great question. Focus. Or lack thereof. I'd like to say that I'm adjusting to retirement, but it would be more accurate to say that I'm suffering from what I call "squirrel brain". EVERYTHING…

    Was this for the " What’s one tool you own but never use? " AskE14 question ?

    I'm losing track of where all the element14 swag is originating from...

    No, this did not end yet. It was previous:  It's the holidays! If someone gave you the gift of unlimited budget for one project, what would you build? We are asking e14 in our Join, Share & Win Competition
