Hello chaps
I'm a french retired telecoms engineer. Nice to be with you.

 

Hi, everyone out there in circuits land. I have been to two tech schools and have a two year degree besides. Most of my 50 year work has been learning to repair circuits designed by big company engineers. Now I design my own circuits, mostly guitar amps but I do other things too. Why guitar amps? I play guitar and do not like the way commercial amps sound, so I make my own.

 

Hello All,

I am looking for someone in the DFW, TX area that is well versed in automotive electrical that could help me with a project I have going on. Please send me a message if you would can help. Thank you all in advanced.

Brian

 

I would recommend checking out Dallas Maker Space. We have lots of gear heads and techie types there. Open house is on Thursday nights in Carrolton. Google Dallas Maker Space for more info, you might even see me there!

Just be aware our ToS (Terms of Service) prevent us from discussing automotive issues. If you want to learn how to light up a LED leave the automotive portion out of the thread, or it will be closed. At that point it will not be open for discussion.

You might find answers to your questions in one of these forums:

Another good forum that shares many of the same membership is http://www.electro-tech-online.com/ . Good luck.

 

Hello, I'm Eric de Mesa, a technical trainer from the Philippines working at APEX-Academy for Professional Excellence, a technical-vocational institute ( TVI) . Our school is accredited by TESDA ( Technical Education and Skills Devt Authority ) the government regulating body for vocational competencies.

I teach Footwear and Luggage 101 courses , programs that train Sales Associates at retail become competent in customer services particularly product knowledge of footwear, luggage and apparel,

I,m now 57 born in 1958. I've been planning to invest in quality audio eqpt, particulary vintage amps and later to acquire a turn table to play vinyl records.

I'm a jazz and country music fan.I also listen to classical music, vivaldi, wagner, mozart. I'm also a fan of Willie Bobo, Wilbert Longmire, Nina Simon and other jazz artists.

Part of my job is to develop curricula for training programs and I use music to get my inspiration.

I'm also an aspiring gardener and chef

 

Hi
I'm Zzfunk a machinist looking to learn about electronics and how circuits work. You might say. a beginning hobbyist.

 

Hello, I am a member of the great unwashed masses who has forgotten everything he ever learned in school about electricity and all the mathematics related to it.

I will post a question soon in the Homework forum since that seems the likeliest place for a novice to get an answer to a novice's question.

I am assuming (DOH!) this does not violate forum policy since I did not see it explicitly or implicitly forbidden.

Thank you for your patience and your generosity with your knowledge of the subject matter.

 

You can post dumb questions anywhere. They are allowed. Just don't flame or troll, they aren't.

 

Hi, I'm Jason. I play guitar for a living and in the past few years, have become more interested in how a signal goes from A to Z and all the cool things that happen in between.

I look forward to participating here at AAC and learning a lot.

 

Hi, I'm Rod , a comms tech, I've worked for the largest local telco here in Oz for 35+ years. I have done most of this stuff, have all the basic skills, but have never got very deep in to design

I am an electrical/electronics engineer, I build and repair lots of circuits but I have issue in sourcing parts and an interactive forum like this.

I welcome ideas that relates to real electronic repairs and where to buy parts especially in Africa and Nigeria.

 

Residing in southwestern Ohio, USA, I am a retired software engineer. There was a time when a person could become a professional engineer without a college degree. I managed to do that near the end of that era.

I first started playing with electronics at age 12 using vacuum tubes and worked into transistors. ICs were beyond my reach until the early 1970s.

I started using computers professionally in 1967. I had built a small digital computer during the 3 years preceding that while enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and that provided a near-instantaneous step up to being a programmer.

I co-wrote the world's first commercial software product for Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) in 1967 and then spent more than 30 years continuing in that endeavor. I worked for 10 years on election-related software for most of the state of Ohio before retiring at the end of 2010.

In 1975, I helped a friend assemble an ALTAIR 8800. He bought the BASIC software for it from a brand new two-man startup called Microsoft and we spent many hours playing with it.

Later in 1975, I started playing with 6502 microprocessors and dabbled around with others later. I became a fan of Commodore home computers in 1978 and still have several.

In 1997, I became interested in the PIC microcontrollers. I was away from them for many years but returned to them when I retired. Using them today in most of my projects, I am especially fond of the PIC18 series.

I started out programming in assembly language and have used it on many types of computers over the years. Although I have used PL-I, Fortran, PASCAL, and other high-level languages, I am especially fond of the modern implementations of BASIC. I can't stand the syntax of C or its descendants which is unfortunate since it has become so popular with microcontroller users.

I designed and led the implementation of a couple of high-level language interpreters for commercial purposes. In retirement, I have played around with some microcontroller compiler designs but not produced a finished product in that area.

I have used Centeye Stonyman imaging chips and have plans to use several imaging chips in a big project one day (if I live long enough).

I always enjoyed programming for a living. However, retirement is a long, really nice vacation. Now I can work on the projects that I like most and there are no deadlines.

I like keeping things simple. I am an optimist.

 

You and I are going to get along just fine!

C grows on you and having a good IDE like Netbeans or MPLABX helps with the syntax that can turn into a chore to track down a missing ';'. Most of the 'Sins' in C are not of the language, they are 'Sins' of the preprocessor and author (I'm Guilty).
Modern C has all thats needed to make modular structured code, it's just not a requirement to use it like in some other languages.

Welcome aboard...

 

hello I am tony and nem to this community I am interested in participating in and learning about electronics

 

Hi. I'm Allen. I'm 18 years old, I have a beautiful wife named Kati, and I live in Florida. I'm a software engineer by trade, but have always been interested in electronics. I finally went out and bought an old analog oscilloscope, a function generator, a soldering iron, some components, etc. and I'm trying to learn how to create circuits. Most things are very easy for me to pick up. However, electronics has been extremely difficult for me thus far. I think that the challenge of learning electrical engineering is why I'm so attracted to it, but it's also extremely frustrating because of the aforementioned usual ease of understanding complex topics.

I appreciate any help on my journey! Thanks in advanced!
