What inspired you to make this project?
I spent a lot of time programming, and want to have the entertainment of logical development without spending any more time at a computer. Computers can do anything, but hardware is immediate, here, now, never crashing or updating. Soldering and building circuits is fun, and I want to show the public/kids that we can make anything with some time and effort. The DIY part for me was mostly a pandemic-project when I had more free time than cash, so let's see what we can build from scratch. Then I can open it up and show people anything is possible.
