Notes

A fine specimen of Coccinellidae Boldportus, a new type of ladybird discovered in Bermondsey, London.

“The Lady” is Project #4 from The Boldport Club. It is a really simple circuit, and functionally nothing ground-breaking .. but that really isn’t the point. It is just a stunning bit of PCB design. Yes, this is more art than electronics!

About LEAP

LEAP is my personal collection of electronics projects - usually involving an Arduino or other microprocessor in one way or another. Some are full-blown projects, while many are trivial breadboard experiments, intended to learn and explore something interesting.

Projects are often inspired by things found wild on the net, or ideas from the many great electronics podcasts and YouTube channels. Feel free to borrow liberally, and if you spot any issues do let me know or send a pull-request.

NOTE: For a while I included various scale modelling projects here too, but I've now split them off into a new repository: check out LittleModelArt if you are looking for these projects.
