We have a programming thread. A computer thread. A bunch of other general interest threads. But, what I don't see much, if at all, is a thread of aforementioned topics in any alive and noticeable capacity.

I'm not sure if that's due to a tendency for aforementioned topical people to chill on b12, or if we simply haven't risen up and created a thread. Both are feasible with probable explanations backing them up.

Feel free to say hi, if you're one of them. This mystery has been on my mind for a while. kthxbai.

I know Descan is taking biomedical engineering, IIRC.

I mess around with an Arduino when I have time. Does that count?

I need to order an H-bridge, but I keep putting it off until I have a few other things to get because shipping is a flat rate.

I made some growlights for my aquaponics system.  I'm not terribly handy for the most part though, I've only got a basic understanding of electronics.  I've got an Arduino, but I haven't done anything with it.

I was an engineering student for a while but it seemed pretty disconnected from anything practical.  My grad coursework in macro-economics actually feels more connected to the "real world" to me which is kinda weird.  I worked in light manufacturing for a while, making plastics and small metal pieces.  That was a fun job but there wasn't enough work for full time and the pay was crap.

Oh, cool. So not crickets. I guess I'll, um... post a project I made a few days ago, just 'cause.




It's a real-time manual stepper driver setup to drive motors manually. After wasting an entire day at a robotics startup trying to figure out how to test our product without having to code and re-compile every move manually, I made this using some electronics we had there. Opvid.
