WELCOME TO MY MACHINE LEARNING BLOG
Welcome to my Blog
Welcome to My Machine Learning Blog.
I'm a hobbiest learning how to control machinery with embedded microcontrollers (and single board computers). Please continue with my first post, the Introduction.
If you spot any errors or omissions, would like to suggest any enhancements to this Blog or have any sort of questions please contact me: jscanova@gmail.com. Just call me James. I'm located on the West Coast of Canada.
