Introduction
The projects and notes on these pages reflect my adventures in electronics. I am not an expert and everything is based on trail and error. My intention herewith is to document the various projects and knowledge accumulated as a result of frying expensive IC’s and such fun moments. I can only hope that you might learn from my mistakes and perhaps provide a few pointers and comments. Remember, as with everything on the Internet, no warranties that anything will actually work and your milage will definitely be different from mine and everybody else. (Please also read the General Website Disclaimer very carefully before attempting anything read here.)
