I'm a 76 year old electronics engineer of yesteryear. I currently teach physics and robotics at a small private school. I am trying to learn to use various arduino's and now i'm trying to use the esp32.
Punch cards and Fortran were the state of the art when I was in school so I've had a learning curve that I blame age for making slow and steep. None the less, example programs and the Dronebotworkshop have generally kept my high school students from discovering my ignorance.
Having a great time!

@toney Welcome to the forum, Toney. It's always good to see another youngster here. My first encounter with a computer was in 1959; it was an analogue machine donated to my HS for teaching and experimenting by the Feranti Packard of Canada company. I am 81.
First computer 1959. Retired from my own computer company 2004.
Hardware - Expert in 1401, and 360, fairly knowledge in PC plus numerous MPU's and MCU's
Major Languages - Machine language, 360 Macro Assembler, Intel Assembler, PL/I and PL1, Pascal, Basic, C plus numerous job control and scripting languages.
My personal scorecard is now 1 PC hardware fix (circa 1982), 1 open source fix (at age 82), and 2 zero day bugs in a major OS.
