    Interesting stuff and I learnt a lot. Cheap to get into also.

    Anyone like to share their pet projects, and online communities they find useful or interesting?
    Sure

    I seem to remember a couple of posters being quite in to their Pi's. MF was but he ate them all so not much use...

    Might be something fun in this lot.

    I liked the idea of tinkering - wanted to make a prototype of an idea I had. Bought the solder, some resistors and stuff from maplins etc. The next step was to get an arduino - it's been almost 3 years now and still not started - but would like to if I have the time.

    I used to build guitar stuff. Built a great distortion pedal which worked. Tried to build a wireless transmitter, but could only get it to produce frequencies that interfered with the tv signal at home.
