This website contains enough information about my various projects for an interested party to duplicate it. This information includes schematic diagrams, PCB designs, and also firmware source code where necessary. I provide all of this information free of charge to Electronics Hobbyists, with the provision that it is for their own personal use and not for financial gain.

Please do not download the information for my projects if you intend to submit it to an academic body as your own work. If you do, and I find out, then I will make a complaint of plagiarism to the school. Also, if any academic body contacts me about suspected plagiarism I will cooperate with them fully. Academic schools do not look favourably upon plagiarism and indeed it is seen as a very serious offence (if not also an attack on the school's credibility). If you are found out, I have no doubt that the school will strip you of any award you've gained and expel you! You have been warned!

That said, provided you intend to use the information I have given you for personal use then I have absolutely no problems with you downloading, building and even modifying the designs to suit your needs. If you do use the information from my site for this purpose, or indeed information from any one else's website, then please do make sure you credit the original authors for their work.

That's it! Rant over!
