Hello all,

I graduated with a Bachelors in EE a little over a year ago. I am currently working in a company where I build and/or implement controls for testing mechanical systems. I work a lot with simple control circuits and data acquisition systems. My goal was to start implementing microcontrollers into my projects, and I now have one completed project and a current working model. My true interests are in automation, robotics and controls. I am new to the field, and I always have questions that concern interfacing microcontrollers and peripherals.

Regards,

Andrew

 

Hello Everyone. Thank you for allowing me to be a member of the group. I joined primarily as a review to study for my FCC Amateur Extra exam. I am a former US Navy Electronics Technician and graduated from the US Navy Polaris Electronics "A" School. After the Navy I worked as a Computer Field Service Engineer for Digital Equipment, Motorola Computer Systems and others. I left that field in 1991 and I am just looking to review the basic electronics concepts. I probably will not post much as I am very busy. I will however enjoy reading your posts and look forward to studying the material.

Hi Jeff,
I too am a grad of the Navy. I went to Fire Control "A" & "C" schools, and never have regretted that decision. I retired after 20 years as a 1st class, and then started my own biz in Elec construction as a builder of fabs for the chip makers. I'm now retired from that too, after selling my biz. Welcome to this site, I too do not post much, but really enjoy reading all the ideas the younger grads on here have. Some pretty smart peeps on here. Enjoy!

Hi, Mark here

 

I am a research fellow, working at Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai

 

Hello Im Yardy

I am working as lab attendant in research and development center. I done my graduation in Electrical engineering but electronics is my favorite subject. Making electronic circuit is my hobby

 

I m a electronics and communication graduate. I have a work experience of 1 year in my field. Not interested in job anymore . I m a hobbyist.

 

Im from New Zealand and and working in ceramics,
Have recently finished building my own potters wheel with a treadmill motor and controller, only to blow up the control board

all part of the fun though

 

Hi, Asid here!

I have just started My EE course at my college. And i'm very excited

Peace!

 

Hello,

I'm an electrical engineer just graduated, but always fond of the field.
It's a pleasure to join this community.

 

i am gouse and i am doing my btech in electrical and electronics engineering

 

Hi everyone,
I have over 20 years of working experience in telecommunications. Recently got my Bsc degree in IT (Information Systems Security), but all my life I was drawn to electronic circuits and devices. I've never managed to fully get into the theory of electronic (I've studied it but right after highschool got the job dealing with equipment commisioning, no need to know how it work or to repair it), but reading schematics and making PCBs, soldering and testing has allways been a pleasure for me. Interested in motion control, uControllers and solar power systems.
Anyway, I'm doing my best to catch up, always learning and I'm always willing to share and help others.
Regards from Serbia,
Igor

 

Hello everyone !

I live in France, worked a few years ago as a EE technician (precisely on GSM/GPS-based solutions) and since then I got interested in electronics altough it isn't my principal activity. In this self-education path, I found the T. Kuphaldt textbooks really helping and then I fell on this amazing website. Congratulations to all the creators / contributors !

 

Hello all, new to this site. Looks like a wonderful resource and I'll be spending a lot of time here. Unlike a lot of people I see posting, I have no college degree. Out of high school I joined the Marine reserves as a mechanic on a CH-46. After that I moved around form job to job just getting by and playing games. Found myself gaining stability in St. Louis, MO and started attending the University of Missouri studying Computer science while working full time. After 2 years and getting the bulk of the core competencies out of the way I was offered a job in Atlanta, Ga making double what I was in St. Louis. Figured I would transfer my credits, but life got too busy. Met a girl, got married, had kids ... never enough time to finish. I was always interested in Robotics and finally decided to do something about it in my copious amount of spare time. The learning is slow being older now, but better late than never I suppose.

I jumped in with a parallax basic stamp boe bot, but wanted to know more. Never finished the book that came with it as I was always modifying the circuits and seeing what things did. Now, 4 propeller boards later and some projects in mind, I figure I should read up more on theory and understand the components that are available to me. I like to do things the hard way and learn from the ground up. I have seen many examples on how to go about things, but I don't take designs at their face value, but dig into them and tweak them to see what happens. Mostly on the code side with sensors interaction.

There are many many holes in my understanding of electronics and looking to fill them. I was researching how to build a power supply for lithium-ion batteries when I came across this site researching the concepts behind charging circuits, what to look for, the dangers (some truly epic fireballs). I could buy a canned solution for $50 form parallax but want to build my own for flexibility and understanding.

I figure I will start with the first 3 textbooks and go from there.

 

Greetings to all, my name is Kenny. I'm an almost 30 father to six currently studying for a degree in IT. Electronics have long been something I wanted to be good at. I've joined this great site as it offers great educational tools. As well as, a great community from what I've seen so far. I have a MSP430 Launchpad and a Raspberrg Pi that I am just itching to do something with. I look forward to future communications with you all.

 

Hello', guess there's not too many people here :[) lol, anyways.. I'm Nigon, a half native american indian from Kansas and I am just a tinkerer and constant study-er of technological things and have been studying electronics most of my life, off and on. So... anyways.. hope all is well with you all too

 

Hi Guys.
I am an undergraduate in Electronics Engineering from a very Mediocre University in India. As such, my professors don't really give a damn about teaching anything new or anything apart from the syllabus for that matter. Practicals are boring and questions are ignored. So apart from the formal requirement of competition of a degree , I wouldn't even want to attend college anymore.

I hope to learn more about electronics from all the pros on AAC, and hopefully start with tinkering myself. I am also the eternally confused one and will be asking a lot of questions on the forums starting from today.

PS - I stopped following course material and refer only from the Textbook section of AAC. Thanks for providing such awesome content.

 

Hi, I m Sam, I m a High school student, i m 15 year old. I study programming at online free MOOC's . Now, i m also studying about microprocessors. I want to program it my own way .

 

Hi this is electronics engg. and seeking a kind of quality knowledge that help me to achieve my expected top of success!!!!!!!!

 

Hello all,

I am Binh, I working in the field embedded system. I have some experience with PIC and dsPIC. And now, I'm interesting with stm32f4 and FPGA. I hope to expand my experience in the microcontroller field here.
