Hello, my name is Jim or RebelJD as in my profile. I'm a retired Electrical Engineer but never worked directly with micro controllers during my career, although I've always worked with them a little as a hobby. Now with more time on my hands I'm doing a lot of projects with the Arduino and now the ESP32. My other interests are restoring old cars and Machine Tools, so I like to combine electronics with those activities. I've been a long-time subscriber to the DroneBot Workshop but just recently discovered this forum. Looking for to using it.
Welcome aboard @rebeljd Jim, it sounds like you will be able to use some electronics with both old cars and Machine Tools.
