I have been learning programming since the age of 11. I started programming professionally at 18 in VB. I moved to VB for Dos, after that I used Delphi and then Java. I have worked in South Africa, The Netherlands, Northern Ireland and Australia as a Java developer
I have always been interested in electronics, but could never get past the cost involved to start up to do something awesome like build a robot
I tried the PIC in 2000 with FedC. It went fine until I had to build the circuits and then things didn't go so well. In 2012 I looked at electronics again and found the Arduino. I started developing my laser tag weapons and found the Arduino didn't have enough memory and was too large for what I needed to do. I found the Teensy 3 and been very happy so far
