I've run out of projects :(

Hi. I've been working with electronics on a hobby basis for about two years now. I've made stuff like simple audio amplifiers (class AB, LM1875 amps, headphone amps etc), audio synced leds, LED dimmer (for six clusters of power leds), volt-ammeter using my arduino and clap on clap off switch. I've now kind of run out of ideas on what to do next I've looked at circuits online, but I can't really get a vibe from any of them Perhaps I'm just getting tired of electronics, I don't know. Do any of you have any tips on what I could build?

have u tried AT commands ,try doing dat with serial porting with a GSM module or a phone!! its gud and line following robot is something very common yet its a healthy exercise top move on!! try making light follower rather then line following its good!

I tend to concentrate on a hobby for a while, then switch to another, until yet another captures my interest. Perhaps it's time to do something else for a while. There's nothing wrong with taking a break.

Quite often I'll come back to electronics when a need arises somewhere else, like my audio amp blows up which it did a month ago, or I want to rig up new control system to run my server stack in the attic. Then I find myself getting back into electronics as a whole for a while again. It has been this way with me for decades!

My passion (obsession, really) is making test equipment of all sorts. I really am obsessed with accuracy, precision and resolution and believe me, every extra digit makes things ten times harder to make!

The audio amp I'm designing for myself is digitally controlled, including automatic tone control at low volumes, class AB main output stages with a class-T subwoofer channel for when I want to let the neighbours know that I can make as much noise as they can.

With a little knowledge you can design a piece of equipment your way, and that's usually better than anything you could buy off the shelf.

Do you have other interests that would benefit from electronics?
