My name is John Clements and right now I am an expat American. I retired from Federal service in Jan 2021, and my wife and I decided to spend a few years in Korea. I began my adventure in electronics at an early age bur did not really get into it full-time until my retirement. I am really pleased with the Dronebot Workshop site. Looking forward to a fun experience.

Welcome to the forum! I'm sure you will continue to enjoy the things you find around the Shop.
Hope you are enjoying South Korea and it's not too cold there. The closest I came to Korea was when I was stationed at Kadena AB on Okinawa back in 1968 to 1970.
I'm in the Atlanta area, same house for nearly 50 years, and it looks like spring is just around the corner. Could see the high 70s this weekend.
I'm trying to develop a YouTube channel and the Banner page, at the moment, has a title across it that reads "ANTIQUE TECHNOLOGY IN TODAY'S WORLD." With a picture of a Teletype Model 28 ASR on the left and on the right an Altair 8800 that I built back in 1975. The Altair is not working at the moment and I'm planning a video series on bringing it back to life. But I'm just beginning to learn about making videos so at lest in the beginning, and even at the finish, they will NOT be in the same league as Bill's videos.
Again welcome!

Hi John,
welcome to the forum. I too am a new member of just a few days and I am already finding the forum interesting and helpful.
If you are not already a member or seen the Arduino Project Hub then I do recommend you subscribing to it also. The link is Project Hub.
Between the Dronebot forum and the Arduino Project Hub you will have access to a wealth of resources and a very wide community of like minded people.
Enjoy.

Welcome! My pet theory is you have an edge on component shipping times (I'm in Canada) - but that may just be a preconception. Welcome aboard... I'd talk more, but I have to go check out the project hub, lol.

@binaryrhyme I wish I did have a direct line. In the early '80s I did have a friend that rant a computer store. He took me to the factory that was making Apple II clones. They even whipped the requirement had programmed into their software to look for the Apple logo. Learned something about reverse engineering then.

@john-clements Fascinating. I was on the application side of a graphics workstation company that manufactured on-site 'round about the same time. Used to love swinging by the manufacturing floor - I love the smell of solder in the morning. 😉
