What a great article. I would love to see more hardware/electrical articles to balance out all the software ones.

Thanks, this is my intention.

Hardware and electronics was an important area in computer engineering, and many early hackers were hardware hackers. Today, the field has shifted as software development at large, but hardware and electronics is still an indivisible part of the hacking community. It can be seen from the fact that EECS is still taught at schools, the fact that embedded electronics is having increased popularity due to IoT, and the renewed interests within free and open source community.

I'll keep submitting more hardware/electrical articles which I find interesting.
