Hello all, hmmm what put....
I'm an old graduate of SHU (back in 1997, HND Electronics engineering with microprocessor applications). Since graduating I promptly forgot everything I learnt, it's true what they say "if you don't use it, you lose it". I have sort of been on the edge of the electronics industry for the last 19 years, RAF for 4 years and in the oil and gas/ renewable industries for the last 15 years. I am an ROV Pilot Technician, I basically get paid to play around with subsea robots... Well I did until the industry collapsed (low oil price is not good for business!). I've had an arduino and a couple of rasp is for the last couple of years and to be honest, I've not touched either. I've forgotten pretty much all of my programming knowledge and can barely remember any of the electronics I learnt, but I manage to pootle along. I'm keen to relearn old skills, learn new ones and I'm happy to meet up with like minded individuals. I live in the South Yorkshire area and would appreciate if anyone knows of any meets. My current task is learning html, css, php, Python and c for a small robot project.
Give me a shout! :)
P.s, do Pimoroni have a walk in store, I'm 30 mins away, saves waiting on postage ;)
