Why don't you find and underground method of getting the parts

I did, I found the scrap heap, garbage cans, they have transistors in power supplies

You know what else I found doing scrap electronics, one thing fails the device COULD have been repaired easily but it isn't until I have removed about half the parts I realise what went wrong, 99/100 it's a fried resistor

So what most people in the Arduino generation do is they buy the arduino motor driver module

you don't even have to THINK about how it works

You don't need to worry about gate voltage or bias or part numbers or what voltage divider resistors none of that

you just plug it into your arduino and get coding

Trouble is, it tops out at about 1.8A

So if you want to start making H-bridges for beefy motors, FORGET IT

That's not alot

I know

So yeah, I've dabbled with hacks, but yes I admit I am a shit hacker

Well at least you can do it

AARRGGGHH WHY CAN'T I FIND AN LM350 REEEEEEEE
Ohhh but you can buy one online
I DON'T HAVE A BANK ACCOUNT
Well why don't you get one then?
BECAUSE I AM IN CYPRUS AND THE BANKS GOT JEWED IN 2013 REEEEEE

So yeah that's the real situation I face

And the rest of the world doesn't realise this

Is your country suffering like the Greece

Yes

They just bulldozed the flea market to prevent people from trading

Not building anything on it, just turned it into a crater so people COULDN'T trade

Robots are fun

Should have fought back

Then you get hot and sweaty and you have to go home for a shower

Well what was an easy code to learn for you

?

Compared to my original computer language BASIC, C++ was a breath of fresh air

These new languages are all module based, there's already a module that does everything for you and my mind has trouble keeping up, you have to learn somebody elses APIs and work with that

I am met with stigma because I refuse wireless technology, I don't use banks, work with cash

Everywhere I go, people give me phone numbers

Why do you refuse wireless tech

I get this look of "what is wrong with you? How dare you not own a phone!"

It's really bad for you

How just asking?

Phones are made in 3rd world sweatshops

Phones are used to track you, monitor you, record you,, jail you.

Phones are closed source hardware, using closed source software. I swear by open source I want to be able to write my own software and run the things I want.

And the amount of money people spend on their phones.....

Oh that is true
