Hi to everyone
First of all, the organizers are inspiring, thank you
A friend of mine shared his project of building the machine, so I took on the challenge of helping him with the electronics. My name is Ivan and I am helping Lubo from Varna, Bulgaria
I have graduated mechanical engineering in CA, USA. I will need some help with the electronics Thank you in advance

Welcome and good luck with your friend's build. Be sure to read as much as you can, ask questions if you can not find answers, no question is a stupid question. Enjoy.

Ivan, if you have studied mechanical engineering then the electronics part you should be able to grasp. I know they are not the same at all but the mindset of problem solving has already been put in place for you to always find your solution. It is electricity and not some foreign alien being. All the answers are here, if you search, read and study you will find it is nothing big at all. If you get stumped, ask.....you may take so ridicule if the question has been answered elsewhere but it is all in good fun. We all get brain dead at times and just cannot understand the concept so ask away. My professor started every class saying there are not any dumb questions only dumb people who do not ask. Everyone needs help sometime. You have to take upon yourself to learn how and why the electronics work, if you do not, your full understanding of the machine and concepts applied will not realized.

Have fun with the build.
