Unit Overview and Outline:
This Unit will have general Engineering and other Electronic topics. If they don't fit into anther Unit or Module, they will end up here. Kinda a catch all for topics I think are important, but may be kinda stand alone.

Caution & Safety Considerations:
Caution & Safety Considerations:
Primer: "Aaron, I can imagine no way in which this thing could be considered anywhere remotely close to safe. All I know is I spent six hours in there and I'm still alive... You still want to do it?"
As with any activity, please make sure you are using appropriate safety equipment. If you are coding, writing, reading, or working a lab, make sure you stand up and stretch every hour or so, Please consider any safety issues connecting to a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, computers and other electronic equipment.

Soldering Wires Together
Soldering Wires Together
Soldering Wires Together - LAB #1 - 🛠️ LAB Activity - Solder some wires together. Don't use shrink tube yet... we want to see your solder joints.
Try separating the wires and mesh or interleave them together. Twist them tight, and solder.
Try the Line Splice joint, where you just twist the 2 wires together.
Try soldering 2 different size wires
