Hello, I've been following this channel for a couple of years. Bill is one of the best there is. I've been interested in electronics all my life, it is only now after retirement that I have some tome to learn. Still much to learn.
I'm interested in almost anything about electronics. Microcontrollers are my go to for experimenting. I do try to learn basic analog and digital electronics.
