Hello All. It's an honor and a privilege to be among you like-thinking folks. I've been a hacker my entire life starting at a very early age. This led to my career in engineering. Electronics, computing and robotics are my top three interests, among so many others. My first robot included working with several microcontrollers to include the Zilog Encore, and a few ATMega8 (long before it evolved into Arduino) as well as programming a Sony Clie to act as a controller via RS-232. It was an awesome adventure bringing that to fruition. Alas, my career took me in a different direction focusing on computer clusters. But, my yearning to build electronic projects and tinker with various new microcontrollers has never waned.
I'm hopeful I can get inspiration from this group to re-engage in my electronics/robotics hobby as well as to share any knowledge some of you may find useful.
Glad to be here.
Tony.
