I've been looking for somewhere like this for years.
Someone from MajorGeeks recommended this site, and it's twice as nice that the forum software is identical, so the first thing I did was set up my profile.
I just joined usernet at yahoo for electronics, but I can't help feeling I may have trashed that email account (I have several). I'll just keep my fingers crossed. The amount of spam there is outrageous.
I've been using M/S Paint to draw schematics. I have made a template of shapes and whatnot that I cut and paste to. So far I'm happy with the results, but laying out PC boards is another story. In printing out transfers the 1" to 1.06" translation is a killer.
One question, can we show off projects were working on? I'm thinking schematics, board layouts, whatnot, mostly based off site somewhere like photobucket. I'm thinking it might be fun to get input from other people, especially if they have similar interests.
But that is for another post. Once I get comfortable here and learn the personality I expect you'll see more of me. BTW, where is the home location of this forum. I don't want the address, just the part of the world it's based. Thanks all.
