After the summer double edition (alias Summer Circuits issue) and the long anticipated vacation, the September issue was always the beginning of a new chapter for the team here at Elektor. It featured larger construction projects and practical background articles. There was also bound to be some interesting smaller circuits tucked in there somewhere. The author has selected some notable September articles that have particularly stuck in his mind after 35 years as an avid Elektorian. This is a highly subjective selection, of course. You might also find something that sparks your interest.
