[Sticky] Before posting here please read - thank you!

I like it

Of course I'll have to try annoying some people by playing with the buttons on the sidebar...

Just as a test you understand

Oh, and where did you say you put the "Aliens" thread ? I can't seem to find it

Is there a button to play a funny sound ? Hmm, no, I don't see one

Hello Bill and all forum members.

Congratulations Bill on being Paul McWhorter's number 1 technology channel!  Paul introduced me to Arduinos and built up my confidence and capabilities.  See you both on Saturday!

Hi Bill 5 Pt stars to your stirling work on Arduino kit (in itself an inspired initiative by those Italians who made an MPU more specifically targeted towards peripheral hardware than the Pi)

Who are the contributors here?

 Are they >70?  If POTUS is 78 and the orange loser 75 then clearly DBW members here are top of that class

I have trouble with short term memory these days and have to jot down why I am going around to the kitchen or I'll forget by the time I get there and come away without switching the kettle on 😉 😉 

But I solder on not having forgotten too much of my earlier life long technical training.

All power to the member? who said he was a retired truck driver and wanted keep alive and have an excuse to get out of the house and go down to his shed away from his OH 😝 

I guess in the new world order people have to work until 70 before getting a pension or otherwise being able to afford to retire. Spare time to dabble with Arduino is luxury beyond dreams

Where are they from

Not obvious from Profiles, but I guess most are across the pond (not a few CANADIANS 😫) some Europeeans, East euros, Kiwis, Ozzies, Indians.  Many different cultures.

I spent half my working life working overseas - even USA , till they tried to force a Green Card on me!

I spent over 10 years in the far East and have a crude insight into the mindset there and why it gives us such problems in the West.

For anyone interested in understanding real China start with the earliest vids here

sort by oldest first and work forward

BTW THIS IS NOT A PLUG - its a genuine vlog of a young guys living and working experience 11 years first hand deep immersion fluent speaker etc

He also has a sidekick ADV , they team up - gripping stuff and very relevant to buying PRC goods

Too much rabbiting here - did I switch the kettle on?

Feel free to shit on me from a dizzy height

I like this form section . looking at the dates on some of the posts, the forum is alive -that's great. Question Is DB1 Robot Project thru the workshop after Episode 16 still alive ? Being fall and now lockdown again I have time to devote to the project but need direction and support  If not alive I'll try working thru the form to develop a rudimentary unit

Info not in my profile - US  Traverse City Mi , Retired Engineer , mentor students at a tech ( STEM ) academy 

This was/is a great project  Great teaching aid first for me  and then to the students 

Bill, if you are still connected , Thank you for all the hard work that makes the workshop a great learning tool.

Have completed  a number of your projects  

Thanks

Hi Bill -- Firstly I'd like to say -- Thanks for all the videos and articles over the years.  Much appreciated.

I have a favour to ask.  My son is preparing a presentation for his college course and would like to know the name of the software package you use for your circuit animations that you use to great effect in your videos.  

Thanks in advance 

Do take care

I think Bill uses "Fritzing" if I am not right

NO, you are not right, I haven't tried Fritzing for at least 6 years!
