Though I now work as a software
engineer, I still dabble in electronics. I have enjoyed
building electronic gadgets since I was about 15 years
old. Illustrated below are a few of my various projects
built over the last twenty years.
My newest interest in electronics is combining circuit designs with mechanical elements in the form of robotics. Currently I am experimenting with small DC motors and solar panels, and also programming control circuits using PIC microcontrollers. |
