Comment on I want to learn designing IOT PCBs (with 2.4Ghz wireless)
remotelove@lemmy.ca 2 weeks agoSame here. Nerd blood runs deep in families.
(When the power brick blew out for my Atari, my dad simply cut open a random spare and re-wound the transformer to match the correct voltage. It was the neatest thing I had ever seen at that age.)

We never bought a TV because Dad would pick them up at the dump and fix them, doing some sort of magic with the CRTs.
And my grandpa hand-built one of the first radios in the area, and people would come over to listen to radio programs. When phones came to our area, he was running lines on the barbwire fences over to neighbors to use it until the phone coop could get out to hook them up a couple years later.
They were nerds before it was cool. I stand on the shoulders of giants.
