2017 Activity

mcb1

There were a couple of posts by and about their posts during 2017.

My 2017 Projects/Activities

2017 Summary of element14 Activity

I was thinking at the time that it was a large list and far more than I had achieved.

 

2017 has been a mixed year for me.

We have been dealing with the aftermath of our motor vehicle accident (June 2016), and the fallout from that.

This has had a significant impact on my time and resources, and we've tried to compensate by undertaking more events, that we may have otherwise skipped.

 

 

However as the New Year rolled over, and I reflected on 2017 as it affected me, I became tempted to look at the content.

 

Despite some personal items that took some quite a bit of my resources, I was surprised when I had a look at my blogs

For those not aware, I have also been writing for TheShed magazine which publishes bi-monthly and these articles consume quite a bit of time.

 

 

I was hesitant to post this, but if nothing else it shows what you have done.

If you add in all the other things in your life, you start to appreciate that you haven't just spent time in front of a computer.

You have learnt, shared and contributed to the element14 community.

 

 

 

So here is my list, nowhere near the volume of some others, but  :-

Electronic Upcycling Challenge

I was asked ot be a judge and provide some posts to motivate participants.

As you can see there was more than 5 minutes spent coming up to speed with the Intel Edison (which is discontinued ... seems a waste)

My latest posts are about coming to terms with ESP32, and I'm sure at some point it will become more application and less learning. image

  • Thanks guys ...

    I think we tend to look at what we didn't get done more often than what we have done.

    Some things get taken for granted, and it's not until you look that you realise how much you've achieved, even if soemtimes it was sideways. image

  • Mark,

    This a very impressive list of contributions to this community.  It is an inspiration to all.

  • Hi Mark,

    You forgot to list that you have inspired so many of us to do better and produce more not to mention you mantra to always do it safely. I know that I personally have benefited greatly from your posts and advice.I look forward to continuing this pattern in 2018.

  • Hi Mark,

    Thanks for the summary! Now I can go back and re-read all this excellent content. And also re-new my subscription to TheShed since it expired. Also your Jumper Cables article reminded me to re-measure my car battery, it will be interesting to see the results one year on, to see the impact of any degradation.

    Like you, I spent quite some time on Edison (although I didn't get to write any of it up) but the information you've documented is still relevant, it helped a lot of people, and will continue to do so for those of us who still have/use these actually very awesome boards as you know. I hope you and your family have a really great 2018.
