Hi Guys
A few days more than a year ago I got involved in the manufacture of some countdown timers based on a PIC 16f628 to control some dryer machines in my son's business premises. This was something I knew less than nothing about and inevitably, it wasn't very long before I got hopelessly overwhelmed by the magnitude of the project and went looking for some expert guidance. Not knowing quite what to expect I looked at a couple of forums and more by luck than judgement, I decided to join ETO.
I was amazed by the generosity of the members in offering support and guidance to the extent that the countdown timers were successfully completed and having recently retired, I became completely and utterly engrossed in the fun, learning and achievement to be had from the discipline of electronics.
Over the past year, I've had my share of great achievements and even greater disasters and there have been moments when I've felt that I've bitten more than I can chew and I should take up gardening again, but in the main I've had a whole year of fantastic fun.
There are a couple of members to whom I owe a great deal and I have to thank them personally, but I couldn't let the year roll over without thanking each and every one of you for help, expertise, kindness and patience in welcoming me to ETO at the outset and continuing to put up with and support my development, albeit a little slow, into an electronics hobbyist. The past 12 months has been fun, fascinating and very exciting and a good deal of that is down to you guys.
I wish you all a very Happy New Year
With the greatest respect .. ... .. .
