New Member, Please introduce yourself

[cdyrssen]

Hello everyone! I am currently a computer engineer student at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX. My experience with electronics has been fairly limited until lately (due to actually studying the field now). I am a Junior and will hopefully be starting to work on an a campus research project this coming semester. Hobbies include woodworking, video games, and music(both playing and listening).

Are you using AOL translator?

It's great you love electronics,  you should love a bit more the language too.

I'm sure you're trolling...

[twobeseen]

Hi there, I am Bernd (yes thats really my first name  ) and I am from Frankonia (a part of Bavaria), Germany.

Got my EE diploma several years ago in 2009 and I am currently working as an hardware design engineer for a well known big german company with a capital S that makes all sorts of industrial electronic, trains, power plants and more.

I am all in industrial standard hardware design with digital and analog parts but like in all big companies most of the time I am working with papers and stuff and lead R&D projects.

I came across EEVBlog when I looked for new bench DMMs and stumbled in the Keysight 34461A review and takedown. Since then I am learning very much through looking fine youtube videos of Dave and others....

[inteljoe]

Hi, my name is Joe and this is my 1st post here and I thought it was only proper to introduce myself...

I started watching the EEVblog and lurking the forums last year. I'm jealous of the "electronics workbench" thread. It's like looking at EE porn (pardon the crude reference).

I'm still "getting back into" electronics engineering and I am very much the amateur. I've been buying equipment, tools and stocking my component drawers over the last year. I'm currently designing my own variable linear power supply and I've got several other test gear related projects in mind.

Anyway... Looking forward to my journey of learning, asking questions, hopefully sharing my own projects and ideas, and otherwise enjoying the forums/EEVblog.

[jhufford]

I haven't posted in this thread yet, so here goes.

My name is Joe as well, I live in Montana, USA. I started programming as a teenager and then did a bachelors in Computer Engineering. My day job is kind of a mixture of hardware and software, but mostly programming software running on PC's. I do a smattering of different projects at home though, from battery powered microcontroller stuff (PICs) to high voltage stuff with flyback transformers (who doesn't love to see lots of purple corona?). I really love where the physical world meets the digital world. I'm in the process of trying to set up a decent home lab. A cheap multimeter and cellphone/laptop chargers for power supplies isn't cutting it anymore. I also spend too much time studying mathematics and physics, math isn't my forte but I enjoy it.

I find the teardown videos to be particularly good. I've learned so much about the various practical aspects of engineering a product that you don't find in the text books. Thanks Dave!

[Asmyldof]

Hiyas!

I joined a bit ago, just before I left for Lao, back now.
I joined because I had decided to send Dave a package and just when I'm back at work I hear Dave try to pronounce my name, look up and see my black-tape box being slaughtered.

So, good reminder to get my behind back onto the forums.

I'm Robert van Ljeeeeuueeeueueewen as Dave made it sound ;-) (Mailbag #745).
Known as Asmyldof in many corners of the web.

I'm an Hobbyist first, professional second. Not because I'm particularly bad at my EE/Software/Mechanics work, but because I started playing with Hardware, Software, Machanics and just generally the world around me near my 6th year, so I'm much more experienced in doing it for fun ;-). (32 now)

I'm a Freelancer who got netted by a payroll follow up to a recent project. Next to solving strange problems, puzzling out causes and all other such I do some scouring the known world for new things to try or play with.
I've been listening to and watching Dave for a long while now while working and only just decided to progress beyond the pick-and-choose YouTube layer into this forum.

[Karamel]

Hi, I am Karamel(as you know caramel) I am from Turkey. at the moment, i am attending high school and I intelligent in with electronics, physics and mathematics. a few minites ago, i have found here! and i am happy : O0 i am sure that, we will speak so much in next term have a nice day.

[mwd]

Hi All,

Just signed up. I'm in Sydney, Australia and have been watching the youtube channel for the last couple of weeks and thought it was about time I signed up.

Previously I've been into Networking/IT/Programming/Business Automation but recently got interested in electronics. I started off a couple of years ago with a pair of Netduino's and have since built a bunch of little devices. I've decided to move on to arduino devices due to better Mac OS support, lower cost, power requirements etc and just built my first temp/light sensor module for my office.

I've got some graphs here:

Plan to do more in future

[tawfiq]

Hello, I am Tawfiq from Bangladesh. I am a broadcat engineer, I design TV studio facility. I have been working with broadcasting gears for last 20+ years, I started as a electronic hobbyist when I was 6 back in eary 80's. I started coding when I was 10, my first computer was Sinclair ZX Spectram. I'm new here, love Dave's videos, loving it here.

[Kemme]

Hello everyone

My real name's Arek. From Poland.
I've been watching Dave's youtube channel for a long time and I finally created an account here. I don't regret it at all since it's probably the biggest piece of electronic information on the web.

Well I can consider myself average at everything - electronics, mechanics, programming, IT stuff. I hope to become good at something... maybe one day.

Hello everyone!
I Mike, I live in NY , studying in school and hate write essay, its hard for me
Can you help me ?
Because my friend adviced me site to easy writting http://www.customessays.co.uk/essay_writer
but I dont believe him

[Throy]

Hi everyone.  My name is Jack.  I've been reading the forums for the past couple of months and decided it was time to register.

I'm from the US but am currently living and working in Germany as an EE.  Got my diploma in 2007 and my first job was programming PLCs.  That wasn't my thing and got a job designing hardware and software for industrial trucks, cranes, and firetrucks.  Now I'm working for a company here in Germany, also designing hardware and software, that develops devices to monitor IT networks (voltage, current, frequency, isolation, etc...)

[Kowalski]

Hello! Kowalski here.

I've been into hobby electronics/"Making" since I was 12, and now at age 18 I'm working on making a career out of it. This year I will begin working towards an AES Degree at a local community college and then transferring into a "real" university for my EE bachelor. To help pay for my schooling I'm currently working at a server computer manufacturing company as an assembly technician, which is good handy-skills practice.

I'm a huge fan of the EEVBlog and I'm hoping to get active on this forum. Look forward to chatting with you all soon!

[abebarker]

Hello everyone,
My name is Abraham but please just call me Abe. For the moment I am stuck in Utah in the united States. I am desperately trying to get out of here because I can't stand religion but that is a whole other story.

I have always been interested in electronics. I'm sure I got it from my father. He had several jobs in the electronics industry, starting with Tektronix in Portland (where I was born). In fact his mother, my grandmother, worked at Tektronix for quite a while. My father also got us started in Amateur Radio. I received my Novice and Tech licenses on my twelfth birthday (KB7FQS).

My mothers father was a professor at the University of Oregon and got me interested in Nikola Tesla when I was about five. When I turned 16 he gave me some books on Tesla including his research and writings and I have read them cover to cover and tried to comprehend every principal put forward.

I've done a bit of programming, worked at an ISP for a while and continue to build electronic devices in my spare time. I love the EEVBlog and have learned quite a few things from it.

[Kamiomi]

KAMIOMI IN DA PLACE !!!

Well, in fact, my name isn't really kamiomi. I'm a student in electrical engineering in Algeria (2nd year). First, it was by obligation, but as the time passes, I enjoy it more and more. Problem : university isn't really the perfect place to discover practical matters, so I'll have to do it all by myself, and it's a bit sad for someone to work all by himself, so I decided join here. Hope i'll get good guidance here.

[nickn4]

Hello everyone,

I'm nick, 21 years old, an student in mechatronics and hobbyist prototyper. I've been experimenting with electronics for about 5 years now.
I like sports such as tennis, skydiving, climbing, RC helicopter sport and fitness. other big interests of mine are my family and my cat called Nova.

I'm from Holland and have a really rough period behind me where i have been homeless due to errors of my "municipality" (translated it, don't know if that's the right word actually dutch:"Gemeente") and them taking a while to get me and my family back to normal civilization. I lost allot of my old stuffs, friends, and my old school had been lost in the process, and that's why i am building up my live again from scratch.

I love learning and have always been a bright student, i am starting/resuming my education now and also picking up my beloved hobby of Mechatronics (prototyping/making things i want).

EEVblog has been a really great support for me in the past and i have been watching Dave's video's on YT about 2 years and learned ALOT from him (more than school can within the same timeframe)
so today when i wanted to start a new project i came across a hard realization, i just NEED an oscilloscope, i have a low budget and Dave suggested ebay in his video to get a cheap 2nd hand analog 20mhz there, but i cant stop being fishy about that site, its just not trustworthy and decided to join eevblog forum and ask for advice. (don't respond to this, ill make a new thread, this is just the story how i came to joining eevblog forums )

well i guess that's basically it for now.

thanks for having me and reading all that.

greetings

nick janse

PS: language is my worst side, sorry

[Darkvader]

Hi, nice to meet you all

I'm David, a 22 year old guy that's always had an interest in anything technical. My grandfather who was an engineer in the RAF taught me how to solder when i was about 8 and ever since I've had an electronics bug that i just can't get enough of.
That being said I don't really do a lot currently, I've never had much luck in the past and I live in a really bad area for doing anything technical or scientific, so i never got chance to go into a university placement for a technical subject, regardless of how interested i am in technology. so I'm here trying to build my electronics "bug" into something i can live off (here's hoping anyway!)

When i was 11 I hit a rough patch in my life and my health took a turn for the worst and I stopped being able to leave the house, even going to school stopped being an option so in its stead i ended up building my first PC, and learning all i could about Computers and technology as a whole. which has lead to me coming onto this forum and doing electronics

Currently on my workbench is a Vectrex that doesn't seem to function right, there's no display or sound and i'm still not sure if i can get it to boot, however i do have a system clock and the main logic board does get all the right voltages. I also have a little project to build a Sega Master System Flash cartridge from scratch just because i can.

I'm from Holland and have a really rough period behind me where i have been homeless due to errors of my "municipality" (translated it, don't know if that's the right word actually dutch:"Gemeente") and them taking a while to get me and my family back to normal civilization. I lost allot of my old stuffs, friends, and my old school had been lost in the process, and that's why i am building up my live again from scratch.

Hi Nick! you sound very similar to myself! my life hasn't been easy either, where i live there's a huge deficit in basically everything you could imagine, from work to education and it's still affecting me now. I do hope things get easier for you!

PS: language is my worst side, sorry

Your English is excellent!, I'm sure you speak better English than some native speakers do

David~

[jerry11]

Hello all.  Jerry here. 

I come from Los Angeles, CA.  I am an electronics novice.  I have built loudspeakers and a small tube amp.  My only electronics education was as a young teen with a Radio Shack 64 in one or kit. (before microprocessors were included).
I have been reading these forums and watching the videos for a while.  I just now registered, as I am going to purchase one of the Rigol DS1054Z scopes and wanted to receive the discount code.  I know, kinda shallow, but I am just a tinkerer, and never had anything to add to a discussion that was as good as previous comments.

[AceOfJohn]

Hi.
I'm John from England. I'm new to electronics and found Dave's channel when I was looking for SMD soldering videos. I'm teaching myself, so its gonna be a long ride. I'm interested in logic circuits and robots. I program a little  (been programming from the age of 7) i understand logic and Boolean algebra, state machines and stuff like that.  I've ordered some shift registers, atmega32's some 16 bit PWM 'registers' some demultiplexers , an auduino, and stuff like that. time to make some cool logic based circuits. BIG THANK YOU to Dave, (my favorite Ozzy since Kylie) for the hard work hes put into EEVBlog.

[jayant_b]

Hi friends, I am Jayant from India, a final year electronics engineering student. I love to play around electronic circuits and DIY projects. I recently started working on Arduino and looking forward to develop some interesting stuffs with it.
