My name is Clinton Freeman, a software engineer who lives in Queensland, Australia. These days I mostly build technology for creative projects. Stuff like:
I find writing helpful and share my articles on the off chance that they're useful to others. A complete article list can be found in the directory, but here are some of the more popular ones:
Latest: How to measure your true heading with a HMC5883L magnetometer
The HMC5883L magnetometer communicates over an i2c bus, and will run off between 3 to 5 volts. So you’ll only need four wires to hook it up to an Arduino ProMicro. RAW is wired to 5V (assuming your input supply is 5 volts), pin 3 to SCL, pin 2 to SDA and GND goes to GND.

The above 'family tree' of influences is a bit of an advent calender, initialed names are my current research front. After I have found out as much as I can about the work of someone I admire, I write them a love letter. The initials of their influences get added and the family tree grows.
How can I contact you?
my-first-name@reprage.com Obviously, you’ll want to replace my-first-name with my actual first name.
I'm also on twitter and github.
Hi! Subconsciously you already know this, but let's make it obvious. Hopefully this article was helpful. You might also find yourself following a link to Amazon, Lego or eBay to learn more about parts or equipment. If you end up placing an order, I make a couple of dollarydoos. We aren't talking a rapper lifestyle of supercars and yachts, but it does help pay for the stuff you see here. So a massive shoutout to everyone that enables this place. Thanks!
