Become a sponsor to Stephen Moraco

I’ve been a developer since 1972. I love building tools that solve interesting technical problems and pursuing projects that feel like play. I’m retired from my 22-year tenure at HP/Agilent.

I always try to pick projects that teach me something new. Lately, I’ve been building iOS, Propeller, & Raspberry Pi projects focused around LED Control and Home Assistant Automation.

I love building & documenting tools that make these technologies more accessible and easier to build on for others! All support from my Patreon, Github Sponsorships, and Coffees get reinvested into my hobby projects.

1 sponsor has funded ironsheep’s work.

@ironsheep

I contribute software that provides examples of how to work with specific hardware. This funding from you my sponsors helps me to keep purchasing small bits of interesting hardware so I can do a project or two per month.
