Title: New Member Introduction
Post by: Trailing Edge on August 08, 2021, 03:58:57 am
Hi
This place is interesting.  Long-time fan of Dave's videos.
This place seems to be the right sub-forum to say "hello" and introduce myself.

I'm an aeronautical/mechanical engineer by day, and in my spare time I build a lot of renewable energy projects.  I've also built a lot of electronic projects from plans until recently I felt comfortable enough to design things of my own.  Mostly these are data-logging devices, based on microcontrollers such as PICAXE and Arduino.  In the course of building these I have spent the most development time on tachometers, which are somewhat devilish in wind turbines, for many reasons. 

Where should I be posting stories and questions about data-loggers and tachometers here?
Is "Projects, Designs, etc." the best spot, or does that belong under "Microcontrollers" or "Renewable Energy"?

Hi Trailing Edge, pleased to meet you.

(They do have a special thread for those intros: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/new-member-please-introduce-yourself/ (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/new-member-please-introduce-yourself/) )

All those three forums would be ok, but I'd vote for Renewable if it's tied to wind turbines.
