So I'm restarting my pulsejet development work.
In anticipation of this, I set about ordering some raw materials and components that will be used.
Now I expected that many of the electronic items would obviously be cheaper to source from China and indeed, that is exactly the situation -- although the price difference is not as great as I had anticipated.
In fact, I'm presently using the Raspberry Pi Pico dual-core STM-based microcontroller for the early prototyping because it's "cheap enough" and readily available with an abundance of support.
The big shock came when I got down to the more mundane parts I ordered this week.

I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
