Thesaint111 - unfortunately, for me and the position i have where i work, anything i build electronics-wise can't be openly distributed (with fear from the company that i maybe devulging trade secrets through such projects) unless they think it can't hurt them any. it's pretty tough to do, and the process is pain-stankingly long. however, i'm gonna quit that job because my co-workers suck and seem to like placing the majority of the workload on me. so, by the summertime, once i leave that crap job and start doing something else, i'll be back to building and distributing all sorts of useful and insane electronics projects. My ultimate goal is to get some step-by-step, pic-by-pic instruction guides to building such things, and easy enough that anyone could do themselves. free seems to ring a nice tone in the ears of hobbyists everywhere, as well.
pretty much, i'd prefer to build my own stuff, not only so that i have something useful around, but also have the satisfaction of, "Hey, i built this thing myself . . . i'm a hobbyist through and through." either that, or i'm just some an insane, maniacal electrical engineer with nothing better to do.
