Area 50 is a virtual warehouse of projects and experiments stored in boxes, some successful and some failed. Each box may contain physical prototypes, special components or samples, and other random items associated with the project. Click on an item to see its details. This freeform presentation will facilitate the rapid presentation of interesting projects without cumbersome drafting and writing overhead.

This information is intended for experienced hobbyists - not beginners.

The information may be incomplete or even incorrect and readers are assumed to have sufficient knowledge of the areas covered to evaluate the suitability and veracity of the information. Many projects will have kernels of information that are useful for other purposes and those will be mentioned at the end of the page. Over time, the projects will accumulate on the shelves and an index will be created. For now, they're just presented in the order they are boxed and stored. The contents of these boxes will vary over time, especially the ones that are collections of small, similar devices.

Be warned, these are not necessarily polished projects! Area 50 is for inspiration only.

This is just an opportunity to dig around in the techlib.com IP storage facility.
