You online - Your Website!

So, you’ve found my site.

Microcontrollers, and Where do I Start

May 8, 2013

I’m looking at Arduino Microcontroller Boards, like I mentioned yesterday. They seem to be the biggest source of “I have no idea how to do any sort of electrical engineering, and I need to start somewhere.” Interestingly enough, it seems like there are plenty of options to lay out my schematics, and APPARENTLY, CircuitLab is a thing… Huge site, chrome plugin, and all.
