| Can those peripheral boards operate with non-Arduino boards? Mostly yes, unless one relies on a particular Arduino feature, or the cost of modifying the peripheral to work with another platform is so high (such as building a library from scratch) that does not justify the effort. | Can those peripheral boards operate with non-Arduino boards?

| - | **Finally, one critical concern concerning life-threatening issues**. The Internet-of-Things (IoT) and the massive use of controllers in home automation is driving people without any knowledge of handling electricity to experiment with turning lamps on and off and similar projects. I cannot stress enough the lethal dangers associated with such projects. Education is mandatory, not only to explain **what to do**, but also to understand **what not do** without the supervision of a certified professional. **Parental supervision is definitely worthless, unless the parent is a certified electrical engineer**. Several of us had been hobbyists from a small age. Staying alive means that we have been careful enough. Young people should not be discouraged but rather educated in maintaining their safety. **In any case, project builders should understand and comply to the safety and security issues associated with their projects, as well as the local laws, regulations and certifications for designing, building, testing, operating, owning and interfacing any form of apparatus.** | + | **Finally, one critical concern concerning life-threatening issues**.

I cannot stress enough the lethal dangers associated with such projects. Education is mandatory, not only to explain **what to do**, but also to understand **what not do** without the supervision of a certified professional. **Parental supervision is totally worthless, unless the parent is a certified electrical engineer**. Several of us had been hobbyists from a small age. Staying alive means that we have been careful enough to gradually build our knowledge, before we did something dangerous. Young people should not be discouraged but rather educated in maintaining their safety. **In any case, project builders should understand and comply to the safety and security issues associated with their projects, as well as the local laws, regulations and certifications for designing, building, testing, operating, owning and interfacing any form of apparatus.** |
