I guess that was my point too.If they do have a decent project to build they spread it out over 2 or 3 issues which really makes you buy the next issue's to complete it,that and after you build it and wonder why it doesn't work you'll find the fix 2 more issues away providing you bought a yearly subscritption.So your looking at 4 or 5 months not to mention a lot of the part's used are not your garden variety ic's and transistors a case in point EPE Aug +sept needed for the scope V2 just look up this part D43256BCZ-70 256 kilobit static ram you'll find it is obsolete or other transistors that have no substitute or are not available in my half of the world or in Elektors case you have to buy a pre-programmed chip from them which end's up costing mega buck's after shipping & duty or a project like their Stand-Alone OBD2 Analyser -- my cost before shipping and duty $120.00 I can buy a better one on E-Bay without any duty for $34.50.
Your right Trent the project's or the mag's don't interest me anymore either I just don't like being ripped off so blatantly by these mag's and their publishers
