New Member, Please introduce yourself

[bastiaang]

printf("Hello world");

Bastiaan here, right now studying electrical engineering in Delft.
But I am still a bit new to the world of electronics. Because I have discovered the wonders of electronics four years ago.
As we speak I'm doing my graduation internship. So hopefully at the end of the year I am also a fully functional electrical engineer! 

So right now my step up is a Keysight DSOX1102G and a Hakko fx-888D and I am starting to work on other bench devices (like a LCR measure device, power supply and electronic load).

I'm trying to catch up all the EEVblog video's over the last four years. 

I hope I can help as many people as people can help me

See you around!

[Joey Pickles]

Hello,

I'm Adam. I found my way here after watching a few EEVblog videos on YouTube.

I have an interest in making electronic music so I have decided to build some Eurorack modules from kits. I've learnt a bit from testing and troubleshooting my builds as well as sourcing the components, but I know there is a lot I don't know yet.

Cheers!

Hello everyone,
  I'm an eevblog addict and I've been binge watching eevblog videos ever since I saw the first teardown.  I'm not an EE by any stretch of the imagination. Although I am a retired hacker.  Not that hackers ever retire but long gone are the hours of looking at terminal windows, pouring over code to tweak it just right. I started watching teardown videos on bigclive.com, his witty titles always know how to draw me in, it was big Clive that introduced me to the eevblog, so you can blame him .  I still go on occasional binges of chatting on the good old IRC.  I love Dave's use of Australian (Not Austrian) euphemisms,  like "second suck of the sav".  I wonder what the etymology of that one is, that would make for an interesting video, why do Australians say, "second suck of the save"? Where did that come from?  I'd like to thank Dave for producing some thought provoking videos.

Hi my name is Dan. I am not a electronics engineer by any means, but I am a huge into it. and do a lot of work with electronics. I do a lot of automotive electronics installs and repairs. 

[Tector]

Hello Guys! I am a student of Electronic Engineering at the Federal Technological University of Paraná (5th year) in Brazil, as a technician I worked with Clinical Engineering and electronic medical devices. I hope I can learn more from you! 

[Feliciano]

Hello,

I'm Feliciano. I've been studying electronics since I was 10, when vacuum tubes was still a subject with the 5-transistor radios catching up. I still love electronics, and I like DIY electronics engineering (i.e. creating/improving/repairing stuff) whenever I have some spare time. Lately I've been working my own LED bulbs, buck converters, power supplies, and such, (first at LTSpice then at PCB), though I work on Telecomm industry and teach at the University.

Google and Dave brought me here many times, so I decided to register to proper interact with you, people.

Cheers,

Hello, I am a physician from Mexico, I have always been an electronics tinkerer. I am here to learn, get advice, share and just have fun. I am seriously thinking about getting an Engineering degree in the electronics field (EE or embedded), so any advice on that  would be great.

[Moonbase]

Moin! (»Hi« in East Frisian)

My name is Matthias. Before anyone asks, the nickname »Moonbase« is not from »Moonbase Alpha 1« but from »UFO« instead, a 1969/1970’s SF telly series and I’ve used it ever since. For a reason. Maybe one day I’ll talk about that.

By sheer coincidence, I landed on the third planet of a sun somewhere in the western spiral arm of a completely insignificant hillbilly galaxy, and consider myself a Terran since then, though some people – most notably my parents – insist in believing I’d be a British-German mix. For some obscure reason, I later got stuck in what they call a »country« around here, named Germany.

I’m kinda old fart (last 2 digits of my birth year equal my age in 2018, go figure!  ) that never lost the child inside.

I’ve been into electronics since I was about 8 years old, touched the hot cooking plate, burnt meself … and then disassembled the (electric) 4-plate oven to find out WHY.  That’s how my curiosity started, in short. I worked and tinkered around in electronics in the ’70s and ’80s and later moved on into IT. Some time ago, my love for the olden stuff crept up again and I’m currently playing around and rebuild my little lab again at home.

I’ve been following Dave’s YT videos for a while and decided it being time to register on EEVblog now. Well, here I am! 

[Crazy_Pete]

Hi all i am Crazy Pete,

May i introduce myself by bowing to my hosts?

>Hello, I am the stubborn girl with revolutionalizing tech dream.

Radhika, that is the COOLEST tagline i have ever seen! :-)   Dayshi lol!  (Beloved Sister)  Anything i/we can do to help you  realise that dream, i beg you to ask!

My background is that i originally got a degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry.     (That doesn't mean i am going to make meth for you, it is astonishing how many people ask.)  What that means is that i can take a piece of moldy bread and  turn it into penicillin.  :-)

I learnt C++ along the way and upon graduating got hired as a programmer and spent 20 years in the career.   I am very interested in embedded programming, have a several arduinos but i much prefer the ARM assembler.   I do strictly Linux and avoid anything involving Microsoft like it was an infection.  For all my career in Science, electronics was always my weakest point.   As i age (I am 56 now) i have taken up the electronics hobby just to exercise what i know to be the weakest part of my brain.   I really appreciate the astonishing amount help i have been given in this forum.


Thanks,

Crazy Pete

P.S. Regarding the profile Avatar: i grew that myself hydroponically, (It's legal here now)  We actually grow a wide variety of medicinal herbs here and using electronics for environmental data logging and control is a big interest to me.

Thanks

[adamcord]

Hi all, I'm Adam from West Virginia, USA, studying electrical engineering at Case Western Reserve university in Cleveland, Ohio. I'm the hardware lead for our school's robotics club. Among other things, we compete annually in the NASA robotic mining challenge. I work mostly with embedded systems and control. I began watching Dave's EEVblog channel a few months ago, and have finally made my way here!

Cheers!

Hi, Richard joining the forum. I got here indirectly from a pointer on the SDCC (small device c compiler) mailing list about the cheap Padauk controllers. Cheap as in N pennies each.

I looked at the PMS150C datasheet. It looks like 8048 and PIC16c56 had a baby. But it could be quite useful for a lot of things.

I am "semi retired" right now, but working on my own projects. I used to be a big fan of PIC, but a year ago I found STM8 and love it. Over the years, I have developed low, medium, and high level, but I really like embedded programming. Have a lot of years in 6809, MIPS, PIC, 8088, Z80, and finally STM8. There's a little 8048 in ancient history.

I have been writing libraries for STM8 to help handle various external devices and internal peripherals.

My best job was embedded MIPS for one of the first affordable (not $800 Acorn...) streaming video players, the PRISMIQ set top box. Got to work with the PNX1302 VLIW processor for video and media decoding. It was "only" 200mhz, but could dispatch five instructions per cycle.

Have a Tek 2465 and 465, but for some reason I am using the 465 right now...

Glad to be here!

[Kasper]

Hi Everybody,
I'm Kasper. I live in Canada and I'm a big fan of this forum and Dave's videos. Specially the teardowns of modern electronics so I can learn some industry standards and do's and don'ts.

I got into electronics 14 years ago. Started with a technologist diploma then worked for a while then got an engineering degree.  Lately I have been HW/FW designer, QA, etc for tech startups making wearable sensors and I spend a lot of my spare time inventing little gadgets. I'll probably have some questions about them and will eventually be looking for reviews before I try selling them.  I also want to give back to this wealth of knowledge that I have been using.

[Jorge4563]

Hello everyone my name is Jorge, I am in 3rd year EE, I love it. This forum is awesome. I love repairing stuff and teardowns. I have been a Daves follower for years but now I decided to register in the forum.

[NA5B]

My name is Mehmet, NA5B from Washington DC area. I have been a regular follower of Dave - The EEVblog on YouTube.  I have been to this forum in the past many times as I searched technical stuff on the net but never tough of registering. (laziness) I got into electronics and making things way back when I was about 6 or 7. Primary interest is RF, I have a deep interest for digital communications. Love playing with test equipment and can do this all day long non stop! :-) I also have special interest of service monitors, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, scopes, etc. and I spend my time at my home lab generally fixing things. Worked as LMR tech for many years for the US government and on military bases in various countries in the past.

I run a WebSDR server 24/7  in Washington DC area covering HF bands and VHF-UHF bands for those who are interested in radio listening. (can I put my sdr address here?) http://na5b.com:8901 for HF bands and http://na5b.com:8902 for vhf-uhf bands (PLEASE USE MOZILLA - CHROME HAS AUDIO PROBLEMS for now, they said they are working on it)

Attached is one of my benches at home for electronics hobby.

Thank you all. 73

[benbradley]

Hi, I'm Ben from the Atlanta area. I've seen Dave's videos off and on for years, and I especially appreciate his debunking of things like Solar Freaking Roadways.

I've hit this forum over the years from googling electronic part numbers, so I finally joined. I've been doing the electronic thing for a while - my father was an amateur radio operator and got me my first Heathkit at age 8. In college I learned machine and assembly programming on a KIM-1, and have been doing hardware and software design ever since.

Here's a project I made in two days - maybe I should set myself more deadlines, I'd get more of these type projects done:
