Admit your Brain lock

(1/39) > >>

mkiijam:
We all have them. Areas that we just can't seem to get our head around. I've been repairing electronics for almost 30 years, but transistors still baffle me. It's not because I don't get or can't get the concept. And not because I haven't read up on them, which I have about 100 times. For some reason, the info just doesn't seem to stick. I find myself having to re-read the basic function articles AGAIN.

Put it this way, I have junior techs that I show the ropes and answers questions from, and I wince at the day or times where they ask me how a transistor works beyond what the answer of "amps signals" or "switches" will satisfy them.

Anybody else? Brain locks?

the PFC. Suddenly your taxes turned into multinational government affiliated enterprise level

I am supposed to do this why, for the sake of the power company??? >:( you think I can figure out if its going to work well in japan???  >:( >:(

Halcyon:
Regular expressions.

coppercone2:
also IEC connectors. I wired probobly at least 100 of them in various things with solder and crimps and I never remember which pin is what.

Transistors are not easy either. My first projects were with diodes. Easier, until you have alot in feedback loops, then they are awful

SiliconWizard:
Taxes, and a large part of quantum physics.
