Embedded

They’re small and cheap, they’re extremely customizable, and if you want to make a piece of electronics do something, they give you a balance between complete efficiency and flexibility.

Sounds just about perfect to me. I have a handful of projects I’m kicking around. Some are more curiosities, some have a little more substance to them. The [...]
