I have compiled a number of circuits, projects and ideas for you, which I think will fall into a general “hobby” category.  See Introduction to the Hobby Corner for the philosophy behind creating the Hobby Corner.  For those who frequent this site, some of the material will look familiar as I borrowed some of it from the DC forum.  Plans for the future are to pull together interesting links to hobby circuits from around the world.  The emphasis will be for projects that perform some useful function.  Please feel free to make suggestions.
