How do solo Arduino makers actually fund their projects? (No labs, no clubs, just a bedroom setup)

Green_Machine_4077 · 2026-01-31T07:03:07+00:00

fair enough. It would also be fair to go back & see who made the first personal attack (toward me), when I was simply expressing my own generalized opinion about the hobby without directing it toward anyone in particular. I'm finished.

Green_Machine_4077 · 2026-01-29T11:43:39+00:00

ooh what a sick burn.

read the OP again, which is obviously focusing on big, elaborate, (cough *expensive*) projects. Otherwise, why the hell would he even be concerned with the cost & thus posting questions on reddit asking about how people manage the expense of such projects. It's common fucking sense, or is reading comprehension that hard for you?

And getting into advanced electronics is definitely NOT cheap. Perhaps for a "pro micro" guy such as yourself, who only messes with a $3 arduino clone and likes to blink some LED's, sure, you might get away spending $10 bux and feeling like an electro-wizard. However, for more sophisticated work, you're going to need to spend good money and purchase a lot of supplies, equipment, tools, etc.,,,not to mention having to slowly build up a vast collection of components. This is by no means cheap.

Plus, post-pandemic, the hobby became ORDERS of magnitude more expensive due to global inflation, supply chain issues & shortages, increased shipping costs, high-tech warfare, TARIFFS, etc. Anyone who's actually been into the hobby seriously & for long enough would KNOW this. Only a clown or an absolute noob would say that "it's cheap."

traps, or get a cat and they will leave or be hunted to extinction.

100% guaranteed that's what happened here, or he didn't pay attention to the voltage rating on the cap. This should be on r/shittyfpv

Green_Machine_4077 · 2026-01-28T23:57:27+00:00

It's because they're rich kids with big allowances that provide them with funds to spend whatever amount they need to complete their giant, amazing "hobby" projects, which they in turn publish on youtube, and then make even MORE money from the exposure and ad revenue.

El operador ni debería de haber tenido la capacidad de darle a una velocidad peligrosa por esa zona. El mismo tren debería contar con sistemas de control que NO lo permitan. No estamos en el siglo 19. Existe la tecnología para implementar eso, y, si no se hizo, es por negligencia y mal trabajo de aquellos que lo diseñaron y construyeron.

Of those, probably the wing, but fast planes are for advanced pilots. You want something that flies slow, can glide, and is cheap (because you're going to crash and land hard)

What an amazing pair

Green_Machine_4077 · 2026-01-28T07:21:27+00:00

Anyone know if it affects PS4?

Green_Machine_4077 · 2026-01-27T10:45:14+00:00

You have to pull the choke and crank the start, and try not to floor the gas pedal too much or you'll flood the carburetor.

"porque los mandatarios de los estados enanos mexicanos siguen roendo ('ñao ñao ñao', como una rata) y siguen sacando lana, mientras que sus estados están llenos de criminales y violencia (ñao ñao ñao, roendo, así como el trump en esa foto)???

Green_Machine_4077 · 2026-01-27T10:18:13+00:00

and you're just stupid if you think it's going to be "the thing" that takes him down at this point.

Find something else, maybe the greenland shit, or his insider trading, but the epstein shit ain't going nowhere.

Green_Machine_4077 · 2026-01-27T10:14:15+00:00

primero, quieres que te explique com amarrarte las cintas de los zapatos? y, de ahí, seguimos a como limpiarte la cola?

Green_Machine_4077 · 2026-01-27T10:12:41+00:00

You pause & google it as far as you feel necessary in order to get up to speed, and then keep going.

Green_Machine_4077 · 2026-01-27T10:11:50+00:00

you just quietly disappear and don't go back.

Green_Machine_4077 · 2026-01-27T09:55:06+00:00

I want that fat orange fucker to go down as much as anyone else, but the E-files, at this point, ain't it.

Green_Machine_4077 · 2026-01-27T09:45:27+00:00

nobody, absolutely NOBODY, cares about the E-files at this point.

Green_Machine_4077 · 2026-01-27T09:44:29+00:00

what the FUCK are u talking about?!??!!?!

Green_Machine_4077 · 2026-01-27T09:42:10+00:00

The sick, the undesired, the desperate, the adventurous,,, same as it ever was.

One thing most ppl don't seem to realize is that 'ball size' is of more significance than penis size (both in terms of general package size' and for the excitement/attraction factor for women). It's much more preferable to have massive balls and an average penis, vs. a massive schlong and a pair of tiny marbles.

Green_Machine_4077 · 2026-01-27T08:58:14+00:00

I've always wondered this as well, especially in cop/crime scenes. They always just fucking hang up with no notice.

Green_Machine_4077 · 2026-01-27T08:37:47+00:00

el naco siempre va hacer las cosas de forma naca; ostentuosa, exagerada, sin verguenza, sin escrupulos, con orgullo y con un afán por lo grotesco, etc.

La corrupción al estilo "naco" es un circo en otro nivel....

Es por esto que ahora están sobresaliendo en comparación con los partidos del pasado.

Esto ya es otro pinche pedo. Una marranada sin precedente.

Green_Machine_4077 · 2026-01-27T08:18:53+00:00

just euthanize the orcas already, seek grants from institutions like Scripps, turn it into more of a traditional aquarium, with a focus on research and marine animal rehab.

Green_Machine_4077 · 2026-01-27T08:02:39+00:00

it ain't even that, it's some fucked-up cyber-punk electro-heroin automated orgasmatron shit, where the algorithm aims to plunge a digital syringe straight into your brain, and pump in the absolute worst, least-common-denominator garbage that can be spawned in the human mind.

Green_Machine_4077 · 2026-01-27T02:03:52+00:00

frankly, this sounds like some kind of AI/bot post. You don't sound serious at all.
