A lot of times I see people create devices which are already there. An inverter to have 230 volts out of 10 volts for example.
Others create the thousandth clock.
Key Word "Reinventing the wheel".
I see that some people do this to learn. I understand that when it comes to letting a LED blink. But an inverter is way too advanced to be used as a learning device aka dust-catcher.
I have always built something I could actually use. If it was a blinking led, then it was coupled with another timer and a switch to have at least a tea-timer.
Why would anyone want to reinvent the wheel? Out of ignorance?
