Technical Information Sources
This is the start of an occasionally updated info link list..
Some links are to sites that somehow are providing access to academic papers that are usually sold at a significant cost, it is annoying to have to pay $15-$50 for a decade old article on some obscure algorithm development at a taxpayer funded facility.
There is a documentary on one guy (who contributed to the development of the internet) who was an advocate for freedom of information, he ended up caught in legal action that did not go well for him.
"The Internet's Own Boy: The Story of Aaron Swartz"
(Prosecuted by MIT for Scholarly Journal “Piracy”)
The full 1:45 documentary is on Youtube (His speech on the subject is at @37.34)
Academic Papers Sites: hobbydocbox.com (google search finds 111,000 docs)
intechopen.com (Open Access: Physical Sciences, Engineering and Tech)
onlybooks.org (a shady source of books, your sense of ethics applies)
( has some 260 Arduino related titles)
Kolban's Books: Neil Kolban has written books on 5 different microprocessors, and is offering
them at bargain prices reflected by the brown wrappers. Actually the site
Leanpub allows buyers to choose their price and for some titles (including Neil's)
you can pay zero. Here is his book site. He also has youtube videos, about
32 on the ESP32 to go with hos 1228 page book.
(An IBM employee, some videos provide IBM tech. insights.)
Arduino / Raspberry Pi Related
Small ACR processor specialist (ATtiny10, ATtiny85, etc) not so Arduino friendly
Andy's Workshop (Arduino and STM32 projects)
Novel Arduino Circuit Designer by circuito.io Drag-drop modules, tab through wiring & code details
Android Music Production
PCB Design Info.: Electronic components Pads and source links - upverter.com
Pre-made PCB Design Files - upverter.com
Another PCB Maker JCPCB.com ($2 for 1 - 4"x4" board)
