Original Text

I'm an experienced software engineer with essentially no hardware experience.

Areas like PCB design, embedded systems, SDR and biohacking all seem interesting, but I'm not sure where to begin.

I'm hoping to find a hobby with a low barrier to entry, supportive community, and exciting future.

Do you have any hobbies involving hardware that you would recommend? What do you like about it, and what advice would you give to new comers?
