No Excuse Now

kmikemoo 24 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…

    Congratulations kmikemoo on receiving that shiny Arduino R4 Minima package! Huge thanks to E14Alice for arranging this and making it happen. It's awesome to see element14 thriving and really coming around…

    I really enjoyed reading your post. Sometimes a great gift is exactly what we need to
    reignite those motivations that are always there, just resting for a while.

    I’d be happy to see your project if you decide to share it here. No matter where you
    start, the important thing is enjoying the process again.
    Often, all it takes is a small spark to reconnect with something we’ve carried inside for years Slight smile
