[sdiy] Looks like EFM is down for the count

[megaohm]

  I bought a bunch of EFM boards when I was just starting out. Half of them
worked right away, the other half didn't. Caused me a fair amount of
frustration. That was back when my SDIY skills amounted to the ability to
"paint by numbers" (i.e.: no experimenting, no bread board, just stuff the
pcb, wire it up, and power it up). Ocaisionally I revisit these non-working
boards and I get one working. Why? Because my skills have improved. My
ability to troubleshoot has improved. In fact, EFM pcbs were the first that
I ever traced out to make sure the connections were correct (helped my
understanding quite a bit). First breadboard circuits were EFM filters. Some
of the first "happy" mistakes I made were realised while building EFM
modules and I continue to incorporate these "mistakes" in my own designs.

  Tom, if your out there somewhere reading these posts... Thanks. You
contributed a lot to the SDIY community and I'm really sorry to see EFM go
away. Good luck on your new path.
