Proceeding Slowly on Electronics Projects
β‘People ask why I’m proceeding so slowly on my various electronics projects.β‘
For one, I am learning.π« It takes time to figure out how to design something, to experiment and learn what works and what does not. No reason to order components or tools that I might never ended.
Second, it saves money by buying less.π€ Sure a $5 or $10 box of random components may not break the bank, but my budget is pretty tight, and things add up in cost. It’s better to enjoy what I have already before moving on to a next step.
Third, I like dreaming of what I can build.π€ Sometimes it’s more fun to dream about what can be built and draw things on paper, then see the final product. Some projects exceed expectations while other don’t. Once a project is done, there is nothing to envision going forward
Fourth, electronics are one of many interests.βΊ There are many things to take up my time, from hiking to camping to fishing and hunting. I also have the blog to work on updating, maps to make up, things to read about, events to go to.
