Apprentice Electrician, basic knowledge in electronics and electricity. Enjoy working on anything that breaks down and interested in solar energy.

 

I'm a newcomer to AAC.Com as of today.

About me: I have 34 years experience as an industrial electronic technician with my specialty being power electronics and motor controls for elevators and mass transit vehicles. All my "credentials" are all hands-on experience I don't have a sheet of paper that say's I'm certified in a particular field.

However, I'm interested in learning the math and analytical techniques and I've been doing a lot of home studying from the 50 books in my personal library. I will be posting a lot of questions so I will be a "familiar face" on the board.

Hey all! I am an electrical and computer engineer at a medical device design and manufacturing company. I am passionate about electronics. I hope I will be of great help to the members of this forum.

 

Hello every one,

I'm a serving soldier who is an avid RC truck builder.
Recently decided to make circuits for lighting aspects of the hobby.

It's been a while since I learnt electronics but like the pretender, I pick it up quickly.

So I joined this forum to learn, expand and create awesome electronics.

Many thanks in advance

Becky

 

Hey guys! My name is Juan and I'm currently a high school senior prepping for college. I plan to be majoring in computer engineering with my sights set on a doctorates in the field.

I just joined this forum looking for help and information on a project I am working on for my application to Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Buuut, I'll probably be sticking around for much more than that.
My two top passions are computers and electronics (circuitry). I'm skilled with computers but novice with circuitry (oh how I wish I wasn't). Hopefully I can learn some stuff here and even make this a study resource for college.

Thanks in advance!

Forward and onward!

 

I'm working in electronic marine {navigation & communication and satellite receiving system (TracPhone & TracVision)}

 

Hello! I'm a graduate of Electrical Engineering and Automatics and Robotics. I have more than seven years of professional experience in automation applied in industry. I program PLC controllers, industrial robots and SCADA. My hobbies are science and programming microcontrollers.

 

hello all, my name is mark and i think, well, i know im an uber-noob compared to you guys (and gals im sure) from what ive seen. a good 20+ years ago i took some electrical classes at I.U.P.U.I. Indianapolis for Architecture, obviously didnt pan out, got into the medical orthopedic back brace field for a good 10 years and seemed whenever there was an electrical problem with the infrared ovens , i was the only one who stepped up and fixed the thing. as i said, im a noob and only know one thing for certain, this kind of stuff needs to be treated with respect at all times, ive seen some messed up things just because they got comfy or lax with it all. SO, with all that out of the way, i quit smoking going on 3 years with electronic cigarettes. and im not talking about those little ones the size of a cig, im talking about creating your own coils made from A1 annealed round kanthal. the diameter and number of wraps and combinations are endless. 1 coil, 2, 3, 4 who knows. but, one thing is for the purpose. all that 4 coil or "sub--ohming / cloud chasing" is now the "trend", who can make the biggest clouds. kind of childish, but every now and then i get a wild bug up my ass and do it. example, ill run roughly a 3 mm diameter, 5 wraps of 28 gauge kanthal and when using one of many ohm calculators on line, using an actual voltage meter or the easiest, an ohm meter box made specifically for building coils ill hit again, roughly, 1 ohm resistance, we use IMR 18650 batteries, high drain. so the average of them is 3.8 volts. do the math and you have 14.4 watts (kinda low) at 3.8 with a resistance of 1. now i can go on and on. but, that's why we're here, right? thanks for welcoming me into you community. Mark. i have questions about safety on building my own device and the options od running it in series and the safety. that i do believe is it. thanks for your time, and if there are any fellow vapers out there id be happy to help if i am able to. im not just here to get. id like to be able to give if possible.

 

Dear everyone, I'm from Belgium, like to work on computers, althoug I try to minimize my time in this activity , as I 'm also an accountant tax selfemployment.

But I keep working on desktops, laptps. Rarely I need to look for the cause in the motherboard itself. That's way I'm here. My knowledge is minimum to nothing if it 's about electronic, but several years ago I did had a formation about electronics.

I just hope I an learn little by little by trying it on the maybe broken motherboards? Hmm

thank a lot for being here on this forum.

 

hi i am student of power engineering is there any one?!!?

 

Hey Hi,

I am a fresher joined a VLSI company.

 

Hi, everyone,

I'm a new electronics student. I have a lot of interests in the field, so I'm not yet sure which specific direction to go in as I advance in my studies. I look forward to learning through the videos here and also through the discussions on the forums.

I am a senior electrical engineering student at California State University, Northridge. I am so excited to dive deeper into the EE community and learn from all you great engineers.

 

I'm a software engineer (so far) just dipping my toe into electrical engineering as a hobby.

 

Hello,
I am a math teacher at an all-boys school who also teaches a summer STEAM camp to just girls. Last year's camp went well, and the girls were very excited with each project. I am here because my weakness is electronics, and I want to learn how to teach circuits (robotics or other cool electronic things) to the campers this summer. I am attending some workshops this coming year and will be posting questions soon. Thank you in advance.

hi! have you heard abotu this? http://quieroaprender.masporfavor.com/participar/usa-instructors/?lang=en
I´m new in this forum just looking for help about motor-generator

 

Hello everyone!! I hope I am doing this right. My name is Michael and I am an Electronics Tech student at PennFoster. A friend of mine at the ETA referred them to me to give myself a start and prepare for my goal of an Engineering Degree from Devry. I look forward to meeting all of you and possibly joining in some discussions if I am able to. I am just now completing Diodes and it really was just a basic overview, so I'm not sure how many discussions I can jump into. lol. Thanks for the warm welcome and I look forward to jumping in.

 

Hi, all! I'm new to hobby electronics in the sense that I'm going back to basics. I'm a professional programmer, and have been a ham radio operator for many years. I serve in the local ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) and RACES (Radio Amateur Emergency Service) as well as SKYWARN, and have worked several charity events such as the MS-150 fund-raiser, etc. as a net controller, SAG driver, chief cook and bottle washer. As a ham I've built several projects, but never really understood what makes a circuit work so I've gone back to the beginning to fill in the gaps in my education. At 58 years of age, I still enjoy learning new stuff. My other hobbies are woodworking (building furniture), competitive shooting (shotgun and rifle), hiking, backpacking, and have been an avid reader since I was old enough to hold a book on my own. I'm having a great time learning new stuff with Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects. Work just really gets in the way of my hobbies! I have eight more years to go before I retire and can work on all this stuff full-time. Youth is wasted on the young! They don't realize what a priceless gift they have, nor how fast it can get away. I know I didn't. I've been married to the love of my life for 32 years now, am a father of three, and grandfather of two beautiful 5 month old twin girls. My children are all grown up, and it still feels sometimes like I only got married a couple of years ago. Time sure does fly!

 

I am a third year BE Electrical engineering student from Pakistan specializing in electrical communication.
