Electronics

One of the things that I have been doing recently is hobby electronics. My first project was a dimmer circuit for some LED's that I installed into the roof of the passage. If you look closely you will see several constellations on the roof. I have developed quite an interest in LED's for lighting, and this was my first attempt, not really successful, while they are very bright individually, they didn't crate enough light in the passage really. I'm still interested and I'm sure will do more with LED's in the future.

I've started to put my projects & designs online, so at least I can go back and see what I have done, there all here: https://sites.google.com/a/west.net.nz/wiki/home/electronics

Another project was a light box for toastmasters, it worked for me but other people did not see the LED's well enough.

I built a delay timer for the windsceen wipers on my car, driving a car in Auckland without this is just dumb. Quite a project, the design was good, but, man, did I have problems in building & installing it, but it's working now.

And the current project if the lazy mans light switch, this is still a work in progress.

Generally I do it because I like making thing and solving problems, probably spend a bit too much time on it, but there are worse things to do with my spare time.
