Hello from the UK!

Many (many) years ago I got my C&G 2240 Electronics Servicing qualifications (full parts 1,2 and 3) but up until 18 months ago I never had the opportunity to put it in to practice - so to say I'm a little rusty is an understatement!!

Recently I have been repairing quite a lot of A/V equipment from USB MIDI Keyboards and powered speakers to a 400W amp that is currently sitting on my desk.

Anyway, that's my introduction done, I'm now off to have a look around...

Hello all,
I did not know this was here or I would have done this when I first came to the forum. I have been Diesel mechanic for about 12 years now. I am currently becoming a trainer for a truck manufacturer. I have been playing with electronics heavily with no real formal education, only what I have dredged up from the deep web, and with trial and error of my own. In trade school I excelled in a 3-week electronics class and just seemed to make perfect sense how a module would have to use a sensor to know what is happening physically. It piqued my interest.

I went down the rabbit hole about 3 years ago, I made my own CANbus on a tabletop out of Arduinos running 3 modules and 3 sensors broadcasting their data. I was trying to simulate failures/issues on the physical layer and see with an oscilloscope. I learned about aliasing and sample interval. I then learned about the Motorola and Intel byte ordering, then used a serial decoder and decoded my first message with some open datasheets with scale and offset that were listed. I was frustrated with the information we were getting in regard to troubleshooting the networks we use. I apologize if I ask very dumb questions. I am very interested in electronics. I would like to go to school to become an electrical engineer. I would have to brush up on my math skills for sure.

Rick from northern Virginia. I am a civil engineer but I’ve spent my (40+-year) career with traffic signals and traffic control systems, but mostly these days teach and provide assistance to others. Ham radio operator, KR9D. While I am comfortable with most electrical stuff outside of circuit boards, on the bench I’m a dilettante likely to fry stuff as readily as fix it. Very much into vintage audio and will poke around most any dead piece of audio gear, and sometimes it works out. I love the test equipment almost as much if not more as what it’s used for, which doesn’t seem to be that unusual a trait in these parts. My latest find is a perfect old HP3456A. What do I need 6-1/2 digits for? That’s the eternal mystery.

I'm a retired test engineer living in Central Scotland. I've spent years building and repairing production test equipment used to test PCB's and complete assemblies for various OEM's and contract manufacturers. Now spend my time building new bits for and repairing ZX Spectrum computers.

Hello, my name is Joan and I have just discovered this forum thread.
I have been passionate about electronics since I was a child, to which I have dedicated many years of my life as a technician in various fields (consumer electronics, industrial electronics, radio communications...) and I am currently retired.
I recently discovered this forum as I now have a lot of free time and I hope to collaborate in whatever way I humbly can.
Greetings to all.
