Scouting, electronics & making.
After being in Scouts during my youth, I started helping with a local group. After completing the leader training and being assistant for some years, I've now for the last few years been the Scout Leader at the group.
I enjoy making small electronic gadgets / IOT devices, such as WiFi connected weather stations, games for use at Scouts and other small devices. These are typically made using Arduino C++ with the ESP8266, Teensy or PIC micros with C.
I also enjoy doing photography, woodwork and wood-turning projects, 3D printing and DIY.
