A lot of us have to go through a few letdowns before we get on top of it, very satisfying getting something working.
I have always been interested to open things up take a look inside to learn how it works.
So many of the projects my farther and I have made with junk and scrounged parts, the inverter build and others have continued along this path.  

I'm sure you will find many more projects to keep you going.



I too can't resist the urge to open things (often brand new ones) to see what makes them tick and if they could be improved.

That actually paid off recently when I noticed an odd rattle inside the just unpacked little mains powered fan heater I bought for my caravan. Turned out the fan blade had come off its shaft, it looks like its held there just magnetically and the courier might  have dropped the parcel.
Anyway, it would have lasted just seconds without a spinning fan blade and possibly caught fire before I could switch it off.

Lesson learned: fan blades can come off accidentally though I never saw  that kind of blade doing it.

Keep the projects coming Poida, your programming skills are something to aspire to but I, at my age, never will reach, unfortunately.
