Actually, I believe, it is still a problem to reliably detect when the toilet paper runs out it is a legitimate engineering problem! or does anyone else knows about some new progress in this field?
Wery nice video Dave.
I have been wanteing to ask in this forum for
somthing in a long time but never got the chance since idk
were to put it.
My problem is i have been doing electronics since 14 yunger then that but i will take 14.
Now i am 17 year old each day for the last 3 years i have had somthing to do with electronic
but this year i have been not really into them really probably worked on 2 major project and
1 didnt want to work and i left that and worked on the other one wich is still siting in my bench.
Ok so by not doing any electronic i have started to play quite a lot of games wich are time consuming
but idk what to do i have school and that get a bit of time then games and then there is that time were i have
nothing to do and i dont have any project to do.I love electronics dont get me wrong.
So my question is is this normal or am i just not interested in electronics any more?
This might not even be a place to post this so i am sorry.
Btw sry if my English is messed up.

I didn't do much electronics at all for a few quite a few years in my late teens, was more interested in computers and programming.
There's a difference between being a taxi driver and a taxi customer. Both "drive" a taxi.
The same in technics. Choose what side you will be.
There's also the cash side: Choose if you spend or earn money in a specific field.
Much is decided by the personal definition of "hobby". Making pictures of PCB's is a hobby too.
Most likely for a hobbyist the answer is already written in the sky before finishing articulating the question "Do i need to learn basics of electronics?". If you are curious and you desire to know about or build and poke around some electronic circuits, then in all likelihood you will learn about the basics of electronics voluntarily without even thinking about that question. There is no "you need" and no "you must" involved. If you don't like to learn about it, don't do it. Fill your free time with something you enjoy. That said, learning something is never a waste. Whether you want to learn basics about electronics, or some basics about programming, something about both or something entirely else is your choice -- there is no right choice and no wrong choice.

What is normal? And why aspire towards it? I've always wondered...
In an attempt to answer your question, I recognize the behaviour you describe in my own life and projects, don't worry, electronics is one of those things you always circle back to in my experience (so don't sell your gear).
Regarding topic; I think reliability and instant functionality are key arguments for me, there are times when you want to avoid messing up your design with code (eg. MCU, CPU, whatever) when it can be solved elegantly using electronics. Remember the days when you pushed a button and something actually happened instantly (without lag)? IMO, the embedded future is a nightmare in some ways...

Bah, what's with this not wanting to learn stuff that people do? People who aren't curious about the things they use are boring.
Most people don't make their own greetings cards, build a shed from individual pieces of wood or sew their own clothes.
Hi Dave,
You are right. Arduino and Raspberry Pi are all development platforms to get beginners into something real fast!!! This may switch on couple of leds... In short, it refers to programming/coding (Computer Science) rather than Electronics side of thing. For example, Arduino Uno library is used only on ATMEL ATMega328 microcontroller... If any other ATMEL chip like ATTINY range or ATXMega series, then you are stuffed because there are no libraries specifically written on them. You may have to re-tune the library on ATMega328 into other ATTiny, ATMega or ATXMega chips.
Cheers,
Steve.
