[TriEmbed] EE tutorial talks (TriEmbed Digest, Vol 26, Issue 35)

[Terry King]

Hi Everyone,

Glad to see you putting effort into explaining these concepts for newbies!

If you end up with materials that could be used for an online how-to site, I would be happy to
host it (and help with editing/photos etc) on http://ArduinoInfo.Info

Let me know how I can help...

I would like to throw my hat into the ring to do a presentation on how to
use transistors with your Pi or Arudino. Pros and cons of FET vs BJT, which
to use when, risk factors, etc.
