No Excuse Now

kmikemoo

FedEx delivered an gift from e14 this morning - while I was shoveling snow from my driveway.  Thank you, element14 - and especially   (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  recommended back then... Relaxed

  • Why not build something for the Fun and Games competition ? 

    BTW - After a week with temperatures in the low 20s, a dusting of snow showed up at my house this morning, and a couple hours later warmed up to 50. Winter is so confusing.

      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 is a bright, shiny thing.  I've also managed to break a few things.  Fixed a couple.  Replaced a couple.  Stare angrily at the remaining pile.  I was way more focused when I worked.  Think of this as my "Road to Recovery". Joy
