Greetings. Guess I can say I'm just a no degree regular guy that can now include myself in the terminology old man since I'm 50 with a lot of young ideas. I'm a artist, designer, sign maker that likes to build tattoo machines & tinker with led's and new products.

 

G'day all

I recently had to give up my profession in Metal Fabrication due to spinal problems caused by various car and bike accidents throughout my life. I've dabbled in electronics and household supply circuits for 12 years or so. Mainly repairs and customizations.

I've always had an interest in how things work and really enjoy when a family member asks me to fix something. So far, so good, no one's been killed

So when faced with the question (from the wife) "what are you going to do"? My answer is: Electronics Technician. I figure if I study something that I enjoy and want to know more about, I'll have a greater chance of success.
So next year I'm enrolling in a Diploma of Electronics and Communications Engineering. That should bring me up to speed and fill in the gaps a bit.

So at the moment I'm job searching and trying to get a start in the industry. No luck so far but I'll keep at it.
Had a bit of a browse around your forum and like what I see. I've got a long way to go but it's what I love doing so this should be fun.

Thanks for havin me
Dylan

 

Hi all... have loved electronics since I first built a flashing LED on a wooden breadboard as a teenager.... now I like valve amps, radio, transmitters, rocketry and astronomy, although now with two young boys, time on the e-bench is limited...

I'm a retired Self Trained Electrical Engineer. I worked for 28 year at a pen manufacturer in Milford, Ct. I still like to dabble in electronics occasionally. So, here i am dabbling.

 

How's it going everybody? I'm a former aircraft electrician with the USAF and am now a full time student working towards my associates in industrial maintenance. I also work full time at a battery manufacturing plant and have a newborn son, so I joined in the hopes that I can pick some brains around here as mine isn't always working at full strength.

Hi,I am lydia, I got my bachelor's degree in june this year

 

Hi all,
I just began an electrician apprenticeship in July that I’ll be in for five years. I’ve always loved taking something apart, seeing what the guts look like and then putting it back together...whether it’s a radio, laptop or vehicle. Half the time it still works when I’m done.
I came across this site while researching parallel vs. series circuits. I have a great teacher but everyone learns differently. Your site explained them in a way I totally understand. Needless to say, I am now a loyal follower.
Glad to be here.

hello guys, im a brand newcomer both on the forum and into electronics. i've just grown much interest into electronics and i intend to register with a local university, im in South Africa.
Now, my first project is that i wanna build some mirrored 5mm LEDs to produce an infinity-look like of the LED array. Altogether they are 200 and they draw an average of 20milli-amps at 2.7V each. Now i want to plug it on a 230AC outlet so my problem is on getting the right chip or circuit that can give me that current and voltage, anyone who can help?

The "Who are you?" thread is to introduce yourself.

Post your question under "General Electronics Chat".

 

I am not different not unique in any way. I am just me, who love to be me
I love to travel a lot, right now i am on my holidays to asian part of the world

 

Hello everyone.. I am a 22 year old trying very hard to learn electronics . I do have an associates degree in computer and electronics engineering technology, but I feel as if I did not learn near enough what I should have.. so here I am now hoping to learn and receive feedback from all experienced members. I currently work at an audio company repairing audio equipment such as: Amplifiers, DAC's, Pre's, Processors, Powered and Passive Speakers etc. So, if there are any books or places that I may go to just start from the basics and start to learn everything once again so I can become a "professional" would be helpful. I understand that this is not an overnight process but learning more and knowing exactly everything that is going on in circuitry is something I really want to accomplish no matter what.. please help

 

I just completed my bachelor's in Computer Electronics Engineering over the weekend and is excited about attaining deeper knowledge. I find this site quite intuitive.

Welcome to the forum guys and gals. You all indicated that you recently entered the job market with some technical skills. I hope you all have an easy time finding a job in your selected field.

 

Hi~ I just signed up. I majored in Hotel and Food industry management....But! now I have tried to learn about electronic circuits and etc..
Though I'm very Novice now but Try hard again!
Oh...I'm Korean~

 

Hello,
First year EE student so lots to learn,
I'm creative and smart but got tiered of paint and wanted to see some blinking lights lol
aaaaand my humor is low V

 

Alfonso is my name, currently working in a cruise ship as electrician (newly hired).
I'm new in the ship and not have a lot of experience in repair but i believe time is experience ( not that stupid not to know common repair).

wishing you all great time and if i have encountered any repair i will be sharing it in layman's term. not that highly technical expressions.

ciao ciao
