New Users Introduce Yourself

[Meyerb2008]

Hello Everyone!

I'm Brandon... an automotive car painter by trade, food truck owner through marriage, and an new, yet avid hobbyist in all thing electric/robotic. My children are grown now and I finally have time to goof around with the things that have always fascinated me...specifically electronic anything. And I seriously mean anything....from resistors and capacitors to mosfets to logic controllers, to microprocessors! I want to know how everything works and have been truly truly enjoying everything I've been learning. I am currently enrolled in an edX online course to learn Python programming in order to gain some mastery over the many projects in my head yet to be performed, and have found that while many concepts with regard to computer programming are somewhat intuitive, many others require a great deal of "figuring." I find the latter to be rewarding -ly challenging, but also will find at times that I'm completely incompetent. I joined this forum in order to perhaps be able to gain insight to things that I am struggling with, and to perhaps just get to rub shoulders with the likes of you all from which I have so much to learn.
