Sorry, put this in the wrong spot initially.. Brain fart..

Hi!

As the subject says, I just wanted to say G'day, I'm Lee from Lithgow NSW. I have had an interest in electronics for a long time, sort of stemmed from my Dad really. I have almost finished my Advanced Diploma of Electrical Engineering and currently work designing high voltage overhead and underground power lines. Love it!.

I look forward to talking to a lot of you, probably asking a lot but hopefully helping where I can.

Talk soon I'm sure!

Lee

Hi all, my name is Will. I've been a long term lurker and thought it was about time I finally signed up for an account. I'm an IT systems and software engineer by trade and I can thank Dave and this forum for getting me interested in EE about a year and a half ago. I recently started playing around with microcontrollers and began playing with the Atmel xplained xmega-a3bu dev board this past weekend. (Btw if anyone else had as much trouble as I did getting Atmel Studio 6.1 to work with TFS I found this plug-in that fixes everything: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/bce06506-be38-47a1-9f29-d3937d3d88d6)

Regards,
Will

hello, i am an electronics hobbyist in the UK who is going to be doing an apprenticeship in electronics later this year. All that i know has been self taught as no schools in my area do electronics

the eevblog videos and forum have been a great help in increasing my knowledge in electronics and i always look forward to the next blog video

the forum has helped me alot in solving some design problems or just helping me to start a new project.

thanks

Hi all I'm 18 years old and tomorrow actually, getting my electronics degrees and certificates and graduate! I've been studying electronics for about 3 years now in a school and going to start work soon. I love electronics and am a typical geek who likes anything techy.
Besides my electronics interests lies philosophy, music and programming.

Hi everybody,

I'm a long time software guy from Sydney who's recently looked at whats on the other side of the bits and bytes. Black magic. That's what's there. Black magic.

So I started learning this electronics stuff. And it's hard going. It's like a circle of knowledge where you need to go around a couple of times, each time seeing something you didn't notice the other times around.

For a while there I yearned for the safety, security and warmth of a simple bunch'o'bit. Bits are easy to understand. Bits are, or they aren't. Their simplicity is infectious.

But the real world calls. Not by the raising of a simple flag but by the passing of a quiet murmur and the stampede of a heard of buffalo.

Cheers,

[Aeon]

Hello fellow electronic fanatics

I am an Microelectronic Student from Hamburg, Germany. Currently I am doing an internship at a company thats makes digital Cameras for Industrial and surveillance use. In September I am starting my Diploma thesis.

I found the EEVblog when I was searching for a video tutorial for an electronic project I am doing at the Company. After some videos I saw that there is also a Forum.

[John Coloccia]

I'm from Connecticut, in the USA.  I was an engineer for 20 years but a couple of years ago I left to start my own company.  Now I build/repair guitars and guitar related items, including effects pedals.  I hope to release our first commercial pedal in the coming weeks.  I've seen Dave's blog on and off for years, but never knew it was an actual organized thing with a forum and everything else.  I though it was just some random guy on YouTube that liked to drink a lot of coffee and then get mad at all the crappy product design out there....much like myself.

[TheKraken]

Hey everyone, aspiring hobbyist with an interest in both electrical engineering and computer shtuff. I have a few projects I'm working on that require a lot of knowledge I do not yet have. I've found Eevblog videos on youtube to be -very- informative, and in a way i can understand. I'm from the USA and will be looking for various bit of help on...

how to get high voltage DC from...DC! ( boost converters or dc->ac->dc or really anything that gets me from 1.5v-12v in to 400v-2kv out )
Basic info on parts and how they function!
The good old trusty equations for figuring out what i need where, or what I get from what I got!
Power supplies, and meters/oscilliscopes etc. ! I really need a proper set-up to pursue my projects and any good deals I can find would help immensely!

So Hello to everyone, and when I get working projects together I'll gladly share what I can, at least a video!

[gierig]

Hey folk,
