Hey all, student from South Africa here!
My interests are (and always have been) electronics and computers. I enjoy electronics first and built circuits from a very young age (first was ~10 years ago).
I have developed my interests a lot in electronics over the years, focusing on building electronic projects, from electromagnetic levitation to laser shows, using the Arduino microcontroller or developing my own with AVR chips.
Computer programming is also a big interest, I have done it for 5 years now, and have published 4 iPhone apps. I was one of the winners of a Python programming course/competition which gave me a boost of self-confidence and interest in this field.
As with my other interests, I enjoy bridging the hardware and software together to create awesome things (made a laser cutter, more on that in a while :yh
and real low level code (recently worked on some bit-banging, done a bit of assembler) and high level stuff such as PHP, C++, Python, ect.
Over the past few months I have developed a new hobby: lasers. Over the years lasers have always interested me, although I never really took notice to them that much. I owned a few cheapo lasers such as 5mW 650nm (red) ones, and recently got a 10mW 632nm greenie, which helped boost the hobby.
I was reading up on LPF on some DVD burner laser projects and got hooked on lasers.
I have lots of ideas, and read LPF every day or so (literally) to see what happens. LPF is a brilliant community, I have never posted anything (before this of course) and have became very familiar with pretty much everything to do with lasers (the science, driver circuitry, ect.) (I'm not very familiar (yet) with gas lasers though :undecided and the way the community works in every detail, and am paranoid on laser safety. I have a few laser projects complete and will be posting about them in the next few days.
My electronics knowledge has been very useful in my experimentation with lasers, like the driver circuits and such.
I know this is a long introduction of myself, but I just want to let people know a bit about me. It is the least I can do after observing the community for so long.
Thanks for reading.
