Self Taut…
Lots of flavors of basic in my tweens on the ZX80, then an acorn electron, then a BBC micro. There was a Commodore 64 somewhere. Finally some Visual Basic on a 8086 then a 286 PC…spent a summer holiday during med school writing a program to read electrical nerve signals from decorticate cats.
Bought my son an arduino kit a few yrs back, but alas no interest, ended up learning a bit of C mysel! Made an electronic focuser for the ES102 with it. But it was crap and bought a ZWO EAF!
Give it a go Hans, probably won’t change your life, but it’ll be fun!
