                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi all,</p>
<p><br />I'm a retired software engineer with bachelors degrees in electronics and computer engineering (yeah, that was a long time ago, era of PDP11/VAX and Intel 8080, trips to UK and USA for computer training).<br />Now I am picking up my old hobby in electronics again, using microcontrollers, Raspberry Pi's and lots of modules available (in stead of loose transistors, resistors and 7400-series chips).<br />Though I've used many computer programming languages in my work, I am using python for the things (small) I do for myself, and now also micropython whenever possible. On my home pc's I use (k)ubuntu linux, and one pc running windows 10.<br /><br />Currently I'm working on:</p>
<ul>
<li>How much less energy will my fridge use when a fan blowing at the radiator in the back? How much money will I save?</li>
<li>make a few electric lego modell cars drive around in my room and have them work together. This is a long term project made up of many smaller pieces. The first one is making a rPi AI camera identify and follow these cars.</li>
<li>get started with home automation: a rPi, HomeAssistant and connect my heating, above fridge, a doorbell</li>
</ul>]]></content:encoded>
