Hi I am newbie here.and I want to ask a few thinks about electrical components .where I must go?
Welcome! If you click on the "Forum" tab at the top of the page you will find a list of all the forums for different subjects. Pick the subject that fits your question, then click "Post New Thread".
 
Hello, my name is Andreas and I am from Germany.
I am a software engineer with much interest in embedded devices, especially for audio.
I hope I can find some ideas and inspirations here or answers to open questions and ideas.

see you :)

Hi there,
My main job is sound re-recording mixer for documentaries, TV series and cinema movies but I'm also an electronic amateur and passionate about programming in C, Pascal and Basic using mikroe boards. At the moment I'm trying to configure correctly the CTMU module of PIC18 devices and inspiring me by reading topics about this.
Many thanks for the welcome !
 
I am an electrical engineer specializing in automation and controls. I've been a degreed engineer for over ten years, now, and have covered the spectrum with respect to technologies. My first job out of school was as a systems integrator. We were a Rockwell shop, so the extent of my experience was Rockwell.

When I took my current job, six years ago, I was dropped into the deep end of the pool with everything from Omron to Panasonic to Steeplechase to Superior Electric MX2000 to printer port motion control using Indexer LPT on Windows 98 to PIC microprocessor controlled machines. And that list doesn't cover everything we have in our plant!

Since we have no budget and my boss needs data, I learned .NET and wrote our companies data acquisition and logging application to communicate with every machine on the network via OPC and log the data to a SQL database. I'm particularly proud of this one, since it has forced me to learn a whole 'nother programming paradigm (OOP, GoF Design Patterns, etc.)

My company is eliminating my position in February -- as soon as I finished building their latest piece of automation equipment. It utilizes a Yaskawa MP3300iec motion controller with Yaskawa SERVOPACKs and servo motors and an Epson G10 SCARA robot. More diversity of experience, and I love it.

Just hoping to find another suitable opportunity before February arrives.

Great to be here.

PS - I'm also a former Reconnaissance Marine, hiker, skydiver, and most importantly, a husband and a father of four boys. I live in Alpharetta, Georgia.
 
I am a recently retired software engineer. I started working life as a radio engineer, anything from 13GHz to MW and 1.5Mw.
later transfered to telephone exchange hardware on TXE4/4A MCU and SPU and then to the TXE4 software side. Last 35 years has been mostly software on device drivers, embedded systems and O/S kernel. Now starting to play with small development systems like pic, arduino and various arm systems.
Currently comtemplating two projects, Home automation and 12v supply with battery and possibley solar to replace the large number of small psus running the home kit, and an aircraft cockpit simulator to help with the flying when the British weather is too bad for the real thing. The simulator software will be one of the available open source systems but the cockpit hardware will require position sensors for the flight controls.

I am also working on building AC power source.

Hello folks, I go by JD and just registered on All About Circuits. I am a retired Mfr. Eng. and Ex Navy(retired) Fire Control-man(operated and maintained missile fire control radar and computers). I was in the regular Navy back in the late 60s thru 1971. Joined the Navy reserve 10 years later and retired in 1999. In my day I had extensive training in electronics and both digital and analog computing. However, I turned 70 years of age in July and have probably forgotten more about electronics then I actually learned(means I now have negative knowledge of modern circuits):D. I am now a hobby woodworker, pen-maker, knife-maker and most anything else that is different to me. If I haven't done it, I am interested in trying it.:eek: So why join this forum, well it has to do with knife making, or actually marking my logo on the knife(1 singular) that I have made. I am going to try to do some eletro-chemical etching of my logo into the blade so I need a power supply, preferable variable in both and AC out and a DC out. Voltage to range from 12-24 in both outs. I have lots of old PC power supplies for components and old treadmill controls so I am hoping to rig something up out of my "junk". I will be posting later in an appropriate forum my adventures in this endeavor.
 
Hello all, I'm a retired test/assembly/manufacturing process engineer in Detroit auto industry.
Am getting my ham radio license back after 50 years idle.
I have some questions about tuned circuit Q. Raspberry Pi and Arduino sound interesting.
Name is Steve Elmore in Saline, MI; no sense using another name around you folks.
Glad to meet you.

Steve, not only do they build boards here, they build some of the most beautiful boards you’ll ever see.

Browse around in the completed projects forum.
