EEVblog Electronics Community Forum

Beginners and newbies to electronics can ask questions here. Please include as much detail as possible, and what you have already done or investigated to find the answer. Short "How does X work" questions are not proper forum etiquette. Assignment questions are ok, but show what work you have done already.

Show off your projects or other stuff you are working on. Talk about designs or ideas, ask technical questions, and share technical information. This is the big catch-all thread for anything electronic.

Test Equipment reviews, teardowns, discussion, questions etc. This is the biggest T&M forum on the net, so your product has likely already been discussed, please use the Search function in the menu above first!

Product reviews, teardowns, and discussion about any gear that's NOT test equipment related. Tools, gadgets etc.

Trying to repair something? Ask in here.

PIC, AVR, MSP430, ARM, Propeller, Renesas, Arduino, PICAXE, whatever. If it's about Microcontroller hardware or software, or programable logic like FPGA/PLDs, post it here.

A community section to discuss Open Source Hardware (OSHW) projects or anything OSHW related. If the project is not licensed under the OSHW scheme, please put it in the regular Projects & Technical section.

The best place on the internet to discuss crowd funded hardware projects! Those on Kickstarter, Indiegogo, Pozzible etc. Does a project sound too good to be true? Is it even technically possible? Will the creators be able to deliver claimed manufacturing targets? Feel free to promote your crowd funded project here also. Just be ready for serious expert feedback.

Chat relating to specific EEVblog episodes or content.

Got your own blog?, or want to post someone else's blog and talk about it? You can do that here.

List your electronics related stuff for sale. You can also post links to bargains you've found on ebay or dealers that people might be interested in. Also discuss where to buy gear and what gear is best. Wanted ads go here too. Only dealers who are valued contributors to the forum community are welcome to post here.

An industry jobs board. Looking for someone? Post your job ad here. Commercial companies are welcome provided they don't just spam and run, you must stick around and contribute and answer questions. No HR droids. No recruitment companies.

Looking for contract or regular work? Post your work wanted ad here listing your skills and what you have to offer. Resumes attachments (PDF) are allowed if you want to make them public. Companies NOT allowed.

All the EEVblab Episodes. Add your own suggestions for blab video topics here.

Talk about the Dave Jones & Chris Gammell electronics podcast show.

This is where everyone hangs out and rants and chats about whatever electronics topics that don't fit into the other more specific categories on this forum. Occasional off-topic stuff is ok, but generally we like to keep it electronics related.

If it doesn't fit into the other categories, put it here. General layout, library, footprint, and design questions etc
