fredlcore

I'm a passionate hobby Open Source programmer and hardware developer working on various projects in very different fields from home automation to 8-Bit retrocomputing.

In almost all aspects of life, I'm in for the long run. I have maintained and continually expanded the projects I work on for years and plan to do so for years to come.
However, adding new functionalities often means acquiring the respective hardware (be it heating controllers for BSB-LAN, lawn mower robots for Robotan or retro-computing hardware for my 8-Bit projects) to test against. So your support is highly appreciated in order to keep these projects going!

This is all done in my free time, so even if there sometimes is no need to spend money on hardware, taking out my family to a restaurant once in a while to make up for the long hours in the basement will also help to keep these projects going :)
