Bio:
I am the Technical Support Manager at Sparkfun Electronics. If you have needed some help with your widget at Sparkfun, you have likely talked to me at one point or the other.
I'm a tinkerer by nature. For as long as I can remember I have been taking things apart to see what was inside. I may not have known what made them work. But I knew that I loved all of the wires, and circuit boards, components that went into electronics.
I am now beginning to understand what makes these things come to life. My experiments with electronics now range from wireless communication networks, to robotics.
Competing in the international robotics competition, Robothon 2009 in Seattle Wa. I prepared two bots. 1 competing in both Line Follower, and Line Follower Obstacle. And the second in Mini Sumo (500Gram Class). The Line Follower robot took second place in the obstacle course.
I don't claim to be an expert of electronics. However, I have come across a fair share of information in my work at Sparkfun. And now I hope to pass this info on to you. Enjoy
