Al Introduction

Hi all, Al here.  First off ya'll may be wondering what a hoobie is.  Well Hoobie is the best darned pizza joint in NYC.  Seriously, pizza is my first passion, auto mechanics my 2nd, hobby electronics 3rd.  Many years underneath a hood of old school cars and new tech cars as well. 

I watched Bill's You Tube Videos about the ESP32 modules and got about as excited as a fat kid in a candy store.  Very fascinating tech for super cheap.  I bought a dozen of these with antennas and programmer to get started.  Looking for some recommendations for breadboard, soldiering iron, hobby clamps, and such to really get started.  For camping, hunting, scouting out fishing spots these would be ideal. 

Also interested in LoRa and it offers for the same type thing.  There are remote hunting places I go with a friend, and it would be nice to lay a breadcrumb trail of ESP32 and LoRa devices to talk to each other. 

Mildly interested in drone tech.  Any advice with 2-stroke 1hp engines on quadcopters is much appreciated. 

Thanks all looking forward to doing my inevitable deep dives.

Al
