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.

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.

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

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
