Brian here, Olde Farte from northern England living on a small hill. I've programmed machine tools for years, in C I'm now retired but still get the urge and Arduino turned up about the same time to make my fixes very easy and cheap.

For a long time now I've enjoyed the YT videos. A few months back one of them saved my mind, I had a case of Arduino not picking up boards at random and that video detailed a fix which worked brilliantly. I wish I could remember what the fix was but that is one of the horrifying becoming Olde Farte.

Most of what I program now is ESP32, measuring temperatures around the house, bedside clocks, light control, the odd robot. I do use Pico with python because that is what is force fed to my grandchildren. I hate the idea of an interpreted language in a micro controller, so inefficient but it works, so what.

I'm also a ESP32 fan

This One, a long time I have I watched. All this life has he looked away to future, to the horizon. Never his Mind on where he was! what he was doing!

Hello Brian and welcome to the forum. You will find many Arduino and ESP32 enthusiasts here and it sounds like you have experience to offer also so do get stuck in!
