The best electrical engineers, engineering students, and electronics makers look for opportunities to learn from their engineering errors. And they are always hungry for tips and tutorials that will help them succeed when designing, programming, testing, and launching new electronics projects, products, and applications. In a new series called "Error Analysis," our editors and staff engineers will share insights from Elektor community members about engineering-related errors, mistakes, and mishaps. And, of course, we will detail important tips and tricks that will help others improve their design, testing, and programming skills.
