Engineer at work is going to use one for the Bluetooth connectivity to tie into his pellet grill for temp readings. That'll be neat (new grills have bluetooth if you want it, but what is the point when you can make one and learn yourself) LOL

Just something they've been using for years. If I find something that ties between the designer/developer engineer and the PCB process, they would look at testing that. So if you have suggestions, lemme know. My 3D printer gurus all use either Fusion360 or SolidEdge.

I was IT for decades myself and it paid well, but I hated the hours and on-calls, etc. I should not have worked at the dealership, but I had schooling years ago and decided to try to use it. However, just like a college loan, I'm, still paying off my tools bill. 
Now I'm 8-4:30 and enjoy where I work. I get to play around with stuff and repair and do things when I have down time. Fun stuff.
