I just finally branched out from software into hobby hardware and I'm eating up these tinkerer subreddits alive. Thanks for a new one.

I impulse-bought an Arduino Uno (well, the much cheaper Elegoo Uno) starter kit and e-ink display and have been working on my own personal-needs Kindle replacement. Wish I did this as a kid or in uni. Oh well, never too late. Having lots of fun.

The only regret is encumbering my minimalist nomad lifestyle with a multimeter, soldering iron kit, and more when my life had, just a month ago, fit into two duffel bags! A 3D printer is off the table at the moment.
