What to do with a Gertboard?

dharr19

Hi,

 

If your a programmer but someone with no experience in electronics then would this board be usefull to you?

 

Cheers

  • A reasonable question to ask is whether Gert will come to the Element 14 forum to answer support questions about his board.  As he undoubtedly knows, lots of people have been banned from the RPF sites despite totally polite and reasonable behavior on their part, and here is where they tend to gather if they have an interest in hardware.

     

    If Gert will only interact through the Foundation's blog and forum then I cannot recommend anyone using his board, because that would make availability of support controlled by Liz's whim.

    And answering my own question, I belatedly notice that Gert has posted in this very thread, lol.  Serves me right for not reading posters' names. image image image

     

    Thanks Gert, sounds like a good board to get.  Downloading the resource materials now.  (And getting a big coffee to wake me up, which I clearly need.)

     

    PS. Didn't the blush smilie used to be an embarrassed pink?
