Small Scale Electronics
This repository holds various information, scripts, etc learned during building small scale electronics. Most of this was learned when building newae.com and associated projects.
This will eventually be turned into a book form, and this repository will be the support material for certain chapters.
This is currently in progress and will be updated over time.
