New Member, Please introduce yourself

[fafa80]

Hello everybody, I am Fabio from Germany.
I like to do small repairs, I am an enthusiast owner of the AVR ComponentTester ( M328Kit+TFT(AY-AT) and GM328A (HW-849A)), I like old vacuum tubes radios. I am searching support on compiling the firmware for the AVR ComponentTester, and I oft read in the forum searching solutions ..

[hwasti]

Hello,

I am Hamid Wasti from USA. Electrical Engineer, BSEE, MSEE. Been at it for almost 40 years. Done a lot, seen a lot, learned a lot -- but no illusions about seeing it all and knowing it all.

I do everything from system level design to circuit design, layout, FPGA and low-level firmware.

I used to be active on Altium Forum, now looking for a new home as Altium transitions to fleecing customers instead of helping them. Is this it?

[Russ_A]

I'm Russ. I'm in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I'm an electrical engineering technologist and I do aerial and underground distribution design, and I'm getting into streetlighting and traffic signals now. I do the electronics stuff as a hobby. Also have most of a chemistry degree, a piano performance diploma, and I used to work at a small research nuclear reactor facility. One day I'll figure out what I want to be when I grow up. Any day now.

Hello, I'm Pierre-Louis, I'm currently working as an embedded systems engineer located in France

[D.Burnette]

Hey all, another new member...

I'm in the US Pacific Northwest.

I work in regulatory compliance (focus on AV&ITE. All things IEC 62368-1)...And dabble in a home lab.

Home lab funzies:

• Weston cells and Fluke 845AB
• Small electrodynamic shakers
• Accelerometers, accelerometer simulators, and accelerometer comparison calibrations
• Random primary standards: Low pressure deadweight testers, primary flow standards

[FazzaGBR]

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.

[JoanBS]

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.

I am saleem from pakistan, I am a structural engineer since 1984, with masters in structural engineering from US. Electronics is my hobby and I am trying to repair an ipl hair removal devise. It is philips lumea ipl model sc2006 and I need a electrical circuit diagram for this devise

[Knimrod]

Hello, I'm a semi-retired Electrical and Embedded Systems engineer from Michigan.  I have worked in the Geophysical, Biotechnical, LASER, Robotics and Automotive industries.  I have 40+ years of experience with digital, analog, electro-optical, electro-mechanical, and software design.

[jumpstart]

Hello! I have been a long time lurker on the EEVBlog forum from my early days of learning electronics as a hobby to pursuing a degree and career in Electrical Engineering. Hope to contribute some of my experience to the forum and pass along some inspiration to new engineers. I am involved in hardware engineering and PCB design professionally, and working on growing my electronics design business.

[Sassy Taste]

I'm from Kaua'i, Hawai'i.  That is where I live now.  I've lived on another island before.  I was into electronics a long time.  I consider electronics an easy subject and if you're attacking this subject, learning it should not be a problem.  EE or Electrical Engineering concepts in electrical things should be my only obstacle.  I find this topic fun and exciting.  I like also the internet and programming.  But getting into electronic concepts and ideas is really fun and not bored or cumbersome for me.  Nicely done.  And easy...!

[Shrubbery]

I have been reading around here for a couple of weeks figure I should say hello.

[gslikker]

thinking this is the very place for introducing myself:

My name is Gerard Slikker from the Netherlands.

The reason I ended up here, is an issue I am not able to fix and searching for the device did lead me here, finding a topic about it.

Hobby (mostly during Winter) is restoring old solid state amplifiers, I have a enough electronics knowledge to solve a lot of issues, however, in the past, taking an EE course appeared a bridge too far...

My other (Summer) hobby is windsurfing, safely on lakes as the North Sea is too much for me nowadays.

Retired now, I also spend a lot of time in the gym.

Most of my working life I was working as a flight simulator tech

[Kharn_the_Betrayer]

Hello all,

I'm an early-career electrical engineer from the US. Found this forum while looking into something for a project at work and decided to sign up since this place seems friendly and active (and the vintage aesthetic certainly doesn't hurt either  ).

My educational background is mostly in control theory, though I have a few ideas for projects I'd like to tackle on the hobby circuit design front.

Looking forward to learning here.
