Hello everyone! I am excited to be here and getting to know you all a little better. I am a complete newbie to electronics but usually a quick learner. If you have any words of wisdom for me then I am all ears. image

    Hi Andrew,

     

    Welcome to Element14, it's a great place to find people with similar interests in tech, there's lots of different people with loads of experience and there's usually somebody on hand with some helpful advice when you need it.

     

    Tell us a little about you, what your interests are, and if you've got an idea for a project you are planning then feel free to tell us all about it!

     

    Best Regards,

     

    Rachael

    Hi Racheal thanks! My background has been in ecommerce management. I went back to college to study fundamentals in web development and game design.

     

    I've always wanted to learn electronics and now is as good a time to start as any. I'm right at the start of my journey but I have a few things I would love to be able to learn and build. As I have an interest in computers, I would love to know how to make an 8 or 16bit computer that could play something like the original sega cartridges.

     

    I am am a long way from this but all that means is that I have plenty to learn. image
