Quotes - Master vs Beginner

Thursday, February 25th 2016

I saw this earlier today and thought I would share it. My wife and I have been studying karate since last May (2015). Sometimes it's hard to see the big picture. We're making great progress. But this quote really put things into prospective. In learning we make mistakes. It's part of learning. We will make a ton of mistakes in our existence. How else can we master something without learning from our mistakes? Food for thought! Not just in karate, but in life as well.

If you use the Chrome browser you can even just type it in the address/search bar at the top. How easy is that? Stay tuned for more Quick-Tips. See ya!

Standalone Arduino

Monday, March 30th 2015

This is my first attempt at creating a standalone Arduino. This is using just the bare Atmega238PU without the Arduino development board. I was able to pull the flashed chip from the board and use it. Looking forward to branching out further without needing a full standalone projects. Here's a link to the pin-out I used.
