Hello everybody! Dave Evans here. I'm happy to be a part of the blog. I ran across EE Dave's blog on youtube while surfing around
and thought it was very good and informative, so i ended up at his site and watched most of his video blogs and thought i might
sign up on the forum. For myself, i grew up similar to Dave back in the day. I was born in 1967 and my father was in Avionics out
at the now disfunc NAVY base here in Beeville Tx. I grew up watching Star Trek, Lost in Space, Space 1999 and such, and loved
the sound FX and blinky lights and so fourth plus my father would bring home parts and components for me to play with.
At about 6 years old i got my first analog multimeter kit and a crystal radio kit for my birthday, along with a dozen star trek models
and toys. The next few years yielded me the radio shack 50 in one project lab, then the 150 in one, then 300 in one, and some
other things. I really did not have any money to buy anything of value so i went venturing out on my Bike looking for stuff.
People would throw away radios, tv's and other stuff, i would allways drop by the TV shops, they would always toss out good stuff.
Anyways, i started picking up portable tv sets and taking them home and tinker with them, ask my dad questions, buy some electronic
books and getting a hold of a books like the TTL Master IC Cookbook and so fourth. Long story short, tought myself how to repair
Tv's, Vcr's, Camcorders, Etc. Only in the last 3-4 years have i got into Logic circuits, micro-controllers, etc. So looking
forward to chatting with all of you.
Dave
