Hi.
I'm new here and to the world of electronics, and I'm wondering what would be a good project to start me off on? I do understand the basics and have been pulling things apart all my life to see how they work. I'm into music and would love to make my own FX Pedals and audio equipment..
I'm reading a text book called "Teach Yourself Electricity/Electronics" and it's really good, but when it talks about components it doesn't really go into much detail about what they do/how they go into a circuit.. I'm also using this website as a x-reference when I get stuck, and it's fantastic!
I want to have a schematic to look at like making a Variable bench PSU or a Cable Tester. In other words; something I can actually get some use out of once it's completed..
I know a bit about use of transformers and rectifiers, but won't touch them 'till I'm sure I won't kill myself, but a PSU seems easy from looking at some schematics? If anyone has a schematic for a Cable tester that does both XLR and TS/TRS plugs together would be great too?
