The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Good hobbyist site when you want to learn to make things?
I recently got the urge to be "creative" in a physical way.
I want to use Arduino to make things... like my first attempt will be a quick and dirty ultrasonic range finder for my dad's camper so he knows how close he is to hitting things while backing up.
So I guess I have two things I would like:
A good forum to talk about dyi stuff like Arduino
Websites and forum to learn about making things like small enclosures and dashboard type stuff - I don't know how to make anything more then a MDF Speaker box and want to get more advanced

Also, maybe you can find some sort of Maker's group of hacking co-op near you.
