About

David L. Jones is an electronics design engineer based in Sydney Australia.

In this blog he shares some of his 20 years experience in the electronics design industry in his unique non-scripted overly enthusiastic and passionate style.
Bullshit and political correctness don’t get a look-in.

Dave started out in hobby electronics over 30 years ago and since then has worked in such diverse areas as design engineering, production engineering, test engineering, electro-mechanical engineering, that wacky ISO quality stuff, field service, concept design, underwater acoustics, ceramic sensors, military sonar systems, red tape, endless paperwork trails, environmental testing, embedded firmware and software application design, PCB design, power distribution systems, ultra low noise and low power design, high speed digital design, telemetry systems, and too much other stuff he usually doesn’t talk about.

He has been published in various magazines including: Electronic Today International, Electronics Australia, Silicon Chip, Elektor, Make, and ReNew.

Few people know Dave is also a world renowned expert and author on Internet Dating, a qualified fitness instructor, geocacher, canyoner, and environmentalist.

Comments, feedback, and ideas for the next blog are appreciated!, but please, use the EEVblog forum for suggestions, not email.

PLEASE NOTE: I get far too much email and cannot possible answer everyone’s personal design or product questions, please use the EEVblog forum for that.

SUPPORT:

Producing and maintaining this blog takes a massive amount of time. If you like it and would like to help support, there are several ways you can do this:
1) Buy some of the products from my STORE
2) Buy anything from Amazon.com by clicking through through here first (I make 6%+ on every sale, even from 3rd party sellers)
3) Buy some of my Merchandise (I only make a few bucks per sale)
4) You can donate money direct

All support appreciated!

MANUFACTURERS:

Step up to the plate and send your product in for one of Dave’s famous tell-it-like-is no bullshit product reviews.
The EEVblog is highly indexed on Youtube and Google, with a well established brand and audience of professionals, students and hobbyists, so you’ll get the highest profile coverage on Youtube and Google.

If it gets the thumbs up, your product is bound for eternal glory and will be worshiped by electronics engineering nerds the world over.
If it gets the thumbs down because it’s a crap design, you get humiliated and your product will likely die the sad death it deserved. But the good news is Dave will tell you how you can better design the product so it doesn’t suck.

Fluke, Agilent, Gossen Metrawatt, BK Precision and Extech are some of the big players brave enough to take on the challenge so far, and Microchip take him seriously too, so are YOU game enough?

EVENTS & MARKETING:

If you have an electronics industry event or marketing campaign you want to share with the nerdly world, don’t put some lame-arse in-house marketing guy in front of the camera, engineers can smell marketing BS a mile away. Let Dave blog your event, or appear in your marketing campaigns to add that much needed touch of real-world credibility in his uniquely engaging style. Contact Dave for a discussion.

Dave can also offer unique professional independent industry product design and marketing advice.

SO YOU NEED SOME PERSONAL ADVICE?

Sorry, but I get a dozen emails a day asking for personal advice on what meter or oscilloscope to buy, or circuit design advice etc.
It used to be a manageable level but now I can’t keep up, so I am now simply refusing to answer any such emails for personal advice.
Serious emails only PLEASE!

If you want my advice on something then ask in the EEVblog Forum, and then I or someone else may respond to your question. I might even do a whole blog on it just for you!
But send an email and you get nothing, OK?
