Welcome to my Hobby Electronics site.
Over time I'll list some of the projects that I've created for you to experiment with - enjoy.

Small Custom Computer (SCC) - MK4
I've resurrected my Small Custom Computer Project again. This is the fourth time I've attempted this; hence the MK4. You can read my ramblings, progress (or lack of) here.

Construction Projects
In this section you will find compete construction details for projects. With some projects I’ve gone into more detail that others, and these I’ve flagged as suitable for beginners. These beginner projects will usually contain a complete parts list, where to source the parts from (and part number if possible), and complete construction details. Any special tools or other requirements will also be mentioned.
The remaining projects are less detailed and in some cases, may be just a collection of ideas or concepts; it’s up to you the reader to decide how best to make use of these.

Breadboard carriers
This section contains details of carrier PCB’s and modules I’ve construction to allow greater flexibility when using standard 0.1” breadboards. These modern breadboards are a great invention for the hobbyist and professional alike, but many components (including all SMD ones), most switches and connectors just wont plug into a standard breadboard.

Breadboard projects
In here I will offer designs and projects that can be built on breadboards. For each project you will find parts lists, circuit diagrams and everything else needed to construct the projects. For some there will also be details on how to move the design to a more permanent home on either strip board or a PCB.

Reviews
In here I will review tools, equipment and in fact anything that’s related to Hobby Electronics that I think may be of interest to others.
The views expressed here, are of course my own, and a result of my own findings.

Articles and help
In this last section is everything that dosn't fit into the above four. You will find information on technical ideas and snippets of information that I’ve picked up over time, reference tables and charts etc.
If nothing else, this is an area where I can document these technical tit-bits so I can find them again; you would understand if you saw the state of my workshop and the paper and books all over the place.
There's also a page for PICs and PIC programming.
