Bitten by the Microcontroller-Geek bug

The Home Stretch

After one more month, I will have completed my last final exam and last semester as an undergrad. I CAN’T WAIT to be done with ECE. This semester I actually like my classes a lot more. I’m taking 4 courses, 13 credits. 3 of those courses are purely project courses so that means I only …

World's Fastest Consumer Super Computer
