Blog on my experiments: 22 March 2024.
Published each week are my blogpage, the page about the current experiment(s) and maybe a special page (please scroll down for the topics list)
This week: Raspberry Pi2 and Most-viewed videos.

On my weekly (Friday Amsterdam/CEST timezone) updated 
  I give a short description about each Youtube video of my experiments with:
* embedded systems (

),
* electronics and
 robotics/mechatronics
* OpenSource software such as

,
* programming using e.g.

.
Since the end of December 2023, I also publish Youtube shorts about the videos.

I also show lots of photo's and video's I make during (mainly) fischertechnik
. This Events page contains links to my
photosite.
