In this episode, I am joined by a special guest; Dave Bodnar! Dave is a Youtuber, retired teacher and electronics and model railroad enthusiast. In this episode we chat about a huge range of topics from PIC to Arduino, to teaching, to DIY brushless motors from fidget spinners! Dave is a self-taught electronics hobbyist who recalls starting out with basic microcontrollers, then moving onto the pic and picking up Arduino after its release. His perspective on electronics has lead him to make such elegant projects as a simple lightning and thunder generator, brushless motors from fidget spinners, and fully scratch built trolleys!
