Area_50

Area 50 is a collection of unusual, difficult, or simply lightly documented projects. Much of the information in Area 50 is intended for experienced hobbyists - not beginners. The information may be incomplete or even incorrect and readers are assumed to have sufficient knowledge of the areas covered to evaluate the suitability and veracity of the information. Many projects will have kernels of information that are useful for other purposes and those will be mentioned at the end of the page.

Be warned, these are not necessarily polished projects! Area 50 is for inspiration only.
