Welcome to Orners Corner! This is my repository of projects I am currently or have worked on that I wanted to share. Most of the projects will be electronics based with some random things thrown in. I constantly find ideas or methods of doing things that are better shared with others; some of these are already used elsewhere and some may not be. Check in anytime and see what Im up to lately as this page is constantly changing.
