The Ultimate Shortcut to Learn Electronics and Programming with Open Source Hardware and Software
Learning a new skill can be quite intimidating, whether it’s using a new development board or learning a new programming language.
With the RNT Lab you’ll be able to follow easy step-by-step instructions to acquire new skills and create awesome projects.
If you get stuck, me and other members will help you get un-stuck. So, you can get back to build your project.
The components required to complete our courses are fairly inexpensive and you probably already have most of them laying around.
We have students from all ages that successfully completed my tutorials, so you shouldn’t fear to come along and try to build your own circuits and write your programs.
