Hi All,

pretty sure this is my first post in the allaboutcircuits.com forums, a few years back when studying programming I stumbled on this website, https://projecteuler.net/ I found this method of learning very useful. Is there a similar website out there for analogue electronic learning.

I like the thought of, for all these problems, say 1- 10 you'll need this list of components; then a description of the problem so that I can figure out a solution.

Rather than, here's a circuit diagram, build it and see how this voltage between this pin and this pin changes/ stays constant... etc....

It's good to be able to read schematics but surely figuring out how to build a circuit with a given set of components is just as important.

Oh, and is there a similar site that has purposefully broken circuits diagrams that need to be tested and fixed to given a correct output.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Ben

 

I'm not aware of anything -- though it's an interesting notion.

One problem is that Project Euler and the like have easy ways for you to verify if your answer is correct and then you get some kind of "credit" to compare yourself to others and claim bragging rights.

That's a lot harder to do with circuits, especially analog circuits. How do you know if you actually solved it and how does the site verify it?

 

Try and locate a copy of "Fundamentals of Linear Electronics, integrated and discrete" by James F. Fox. Published by Delmar Publishers, ISBN 0-8273-6851-8.
You may pick up a copy on Amazon for under £30.00.
It is excellently written and laid out, covers nearly everything you need to learn with practical examples and test questions at the end of each chapter.
I teach practical linear electronics to a few club members and use this as a reference on many occasions.
I just googled the title and there is a page where you can preview the contents.

Yeah good question, would need some further thinking.... there is an element of being able to cheat but then that's up to the people solving them, verification could be through some form of image recognition... just to keep it simple.. lol

I will definitely check that book out, can never have too many books. Cheers
