Hacking Only cool geeks need apply

[AndyRKett]

No I don't mean hacking people's computers for personal gain or malice.

What I'm interested in is the growing community of hackers of things. My background being electronics and electrical engineering I'm not adverse to mucking about with things to make them do what they were not originally designed for, I would like to get into some prototyping with arduino boards. Which I'm hoping will open up some opportunity to make use in the future of the raspberry pi for some projects I have ideas for.

How many others on hear have any experience of these boards, programming in general etc who would be interested in swapping ideas or giving some advice in this area

Sounds like you need Hackspace

If only.....

We don't have one in Norfolk or even nearby

I have a pi on order to rekindle my youth.
PCB layout has been my game for the past 17 years and I quite fancy relearning to code to turn a pi into something useful.
Or might just make it a media player to start out

I have an arduino, but probably not touched it in the best part of a year. There's loads of tutorials on the net etc.
