Walkthrough Wednesdays?
Tris20:
Hey, I was wondering if you could maybe walk us through a schematic every now and maybe dedicate a specific episode to it? It wouldn't even need to be very long (say 10 minutes). I know that you tend to give the schematic a look during tear-downs but it would be really informative if there was more detail and perhaps examples of how things could be changed to have different outcomes? Looking through YouTube there's a few circuit/schematic walkthroughs but really not as many as I'd hoped for(or their badly tagged or I have have horrendous search skills). I know I've suggested "Walkthrough Wednesdays" but it wouldn't need to be every Wednesday of course. Even once a month would be great! Please consider giving this a try :) You might even enjoy it :-+

It is a lot of work for dave he is buisy enough at the moment as it is and I think it would be quit boring
EEVblog:
To what end?
To figure out how a particular circuit/product works?
To figure out how to draw schematics?, good/bad methods etc
To identify and explain common building blocks?
The point being that unless you have a clear intention with what you want to achieve with a "schematic walkthough" it's going to end up a bit of a hotch-potch.

A lot of work? It takes less effort to draw up or talk through a schematic than go through a full teardown. He could quite easily skim through some of the schematic as well, focusing mainly on things such as:
1. Traps for young players (who I imagine would be a main demographic(sorry for the marketing speak)
2. Exceptional elements of design
3. Alternative values/components
The suggestion is more towards occasionally supplementing a tear-down with a follow up dedicated specifically to going through some of the schematics in a bit more detail and then going back to the tear down. I'm not saying it will be exciting, but considering your very own post in the beginners section the other day I would have thought you'd be a bit more keen on seeing someone (especially someone with Dave's level of expertise) walk through a circuit diagram. Like I say, doesn't need to even be that frequent.
electronics man:
I just think it is better to do it whith the teardown or even integrate it with a fundamental Friday (examples where a fundamental circuit is used) a whole episode donated to a schematic is a bit much to ask I think
