Starting to play with Arduino more. First I’ve fiddled with electronic assembly in ~20 years and the biggest learning is: middle-aged eyesight and finger dexterity suck. Reading resistor values and assembling even a simple circuit was more eye/finger strain than I expected.pic.twitter.com/ymrSZckHrZ

I haz digital inputs. These teeny switches were annoying to insert. I’m working through the Elegoo mega 2560 kit manual, one experiment every morning. Takes about 15-20 minutes. Right now focusing on the mechanical assembly skills, not really tweaking the canned sketches.pic.twitter.com/nwWYJPhQjK

Bought the helping hands too. Between that and the cheapie usb microscope. I’m set as far as vision issues are concerned for now.pic.twitter.com/VNNrldxKvX

it's nice you have a 3d printer around to make cases and other parts for your little experiments

i have a few arduino projects on hold or never started because i didn't have the parts pipeline. the printer definitely makes a big difference! (mine finally arrives next week) have fun :D

yeah in general, committing to building a proper lab has been good for getting me unstuck on this stuff... I now have a fairly complete electrical/mechanical setup in a nice bench that's a pleasure to work at
