I gotta say I still shiver each time I look at the built tool
The path taken has taught me so much too. And even being "there" all the way, I was still amazed to see that working (not that I didn't have faith. I knew it would work. But damn, it's a huge mark!).

I gotta use this line to express myself specially to those starting out on areas which are not their expertise.
Specially after reading
rerun12's reply to this thread:

I gotta tell you. It IS inspiring!
When I started playing with these concepts, I had only a very faint view of electronics. I knew what LED's are diodes were (although I didn't know how to actually use a diode
), I had a very little ground on programming (and although I'm still a noob, I can get the job done now).
So I have to thank
L0ckcr4ck3r for being there not telling me WHAT to do, but HELPING me to figure out HOW to do it for myself.
I guess I can also use this post to thank
Xeo and
Elbow (and anyone who has helped me on this subject, I'm sorry if your name isn't here) to everytime they have put up with me asking stupid questions on programming and electronics. Even by being on "unrelated to this project" lines, they hugelly boosted up my skill to be of help here.
Basically this is all to tell
rerun12 and others on the same situation (
Hux, this is for you
), go for it.
Get a micro controller and play with it. It's not as difficult as you might think.
Hell, if I could learn it in a couple months. You will be able to teach me in a couple weeks!
My achievements aren't nearly as inspiring as
L0ckcr4ck3r's, but they are a huge milestone to me:
- Programming;
- Electronics;
- Designing PCB's
- CNC/Milling - I still have no idea how to to actually work with it it, but thanks to
Hux and
L0ckcr4ck3r, some concepts are way easier to grasp now;
and the biggest mark I achieved:
- Being able to do what the fuck I put my head into!
That is the point I wanted to set clear on this rhapsody!
Go ahead, keep plugging away, picking on me! You will end up on bypass or with rigor mortise.
