Arduino Step by Step
Getting Started
This classic course will teach you everything you need to know to create Arduino gadgets with sensors, displays, and lights. Start here if you are new to the Arduino.
KiCad Like a Pro
In this eBook and video course, I have packed almost everything I have learned as a KiCad user and electronics instructor to help you learn KiCad.
Node-RED and
Raspberry Pi Pico W
Use this video course and eBook to learn Node-RED, Raspberry Pi Pico W, and MicroPython, and add these state-of-the-art tools to your technology toolkit.
Arduino Step by Step
Getting Serious
Create Arduino gadgets that can communicate, move, interact, measure and detect. This course picks up where Arduino Step by Step Getting Started left off and shows you how to use dozens of external components and advanced build-in features.
ESP32 For Busy People
Use this powerful microcontroller to turbo-charge your Arduino projects. If you are already using the Arduino in your projects, then you'll love what the ESP32 can do. This course will help you get up and running with the ESP32 quickly.
ESP32 By Example
This course is for anyone who wants to begin to explore the world of cyber-physical systems where the worlds of software and physical system control meet.

The latest from Peter's Flight Log
I'm training to be a pilot! In these pages I keep a detailed record of my journey and share the ups and downs (literally) with you.
I invite you to join me in my flying adventures!
Training area
Flight 39: Training Area Familiarisation
Flight log Flight 39: Training area familiarisation My first flight after another long break was, in fact, sightseeing. It was a far cry from the usual laps around the airport. In today’s flight, Greg took me around some of the most important landmarks around Camden (from an aviation point of view). I also performed two […]
Circuits, radio issues
Hour 35: Cancelled solo – radio issues
Flight log Hour 35: Solo circuit training I had an internal debate about writing this log, because this flight did not happen. I planned to do a mid-day solo circuit flight (just like for Hour 34), but only managed to taxi to the runup bay before ATC asked me to return to parking due to […]
Circuits, solo
Hour 34: Fifth solo circuits door-to-door
Flight log Hours 34: Solo circuit training door-to-door On Hour 34 of my training, I conducted a full flight as pilot-in-command! We often refer to this flight as “door-to-door”, because the pilot in training completes the entire ground and air components of the flight solo, with the instructor monitoring from a distance. This door-to-door flight […]
advanced, Stalls, training
Hour 32: Advanced stalls
Flight log Hours 32: Advanced stalls Advanced stalls are stall maneuvers and recovery practices that go beyond the basics taught to beginner pilots. These advanced exercises are designed to enhance a pilot’s understanding and handling skills in more complex stalling scenarios that they might encounter in flight. In Hour 32, I practiced these maneuvers at […]
"Power loss", Circuits, emergencies, Flapless
Hour 33: Dual circuits and emergencies
Flight log Hours 33: Dual circuit training on RW06 and RW28 As it was three weeks since my last flight, a circuits solo was not possible. In today’s second flight, I did dual circuits training with Davide. This session was filled with emergencies and my first landing on Runway 28, which is grass, plus my […]
Basic Intrument Flying, BIF, Simulator
Hour 31: Simulator Basic Instrument Flying training
Flight log Hour 31: Simulated for Basic Instrument Flying (BIF) training Today I had hoped to do a door-to-door circuits solo, but the weather, again, did not cooperate. So, Greg suggested I use the simulator to do some Basic Instrument Flying Training. This was a very good alternative to real-world flying, given that BIF is […]
