LinkedinI am 52 years old. Nearly finished an associate degree of engineering, majoring in instrumentation control and automation. I was doing a BEng majoring in mechatronics but changed majors then downgraded to the ADEng with the University of Southern Queensland. The hope is that I can get a J O B somewhere doing the more hands-on work rather than the design part or whatever engineers actually do. I don't even know what paraprofessionals do now days. I obtained an AD of engineering majoring in Electrical and Electronics but I was working for Telstra in Brisbane and just used a soldering iron and cabling tools. Bit of a waste of study. At least I am still having a go.
Currently I am in the process of building a modular analogue synth using the eurorack specs. The aim is to build my confidence and hopefully a great working instrument that will last a while. Not a cheap hobby though. Electronics components are not cheap and neither are modules. DIY sounded good. However, I am yet to build a module on a breadboard which works and the MFOS keyboard module does not work as intended. I just keep plugging away trying different circuits I found on-line.
For those with a clue what could be up with the keyboard module. The gate and trigger do not work as they are always sitting at about 10V even when no key is pressed. The CVs have the correct voltage out when a key is pressed, but stay on that voltage when the key is no longer pressed. Aaaaargh.
I am also interested in artificial neural networks using basic ICs and RC networks. Another interest is turning a remote control car into one that is autonomous using sensors and an Arduino Mega. Although that project is on the back-burner.
