EEVblog Electronics Community Forum

A place for electronics newbies to ask questions. Include detail & what you have already done to find the answer. Short "How does X work" questions are not proper forum etiquette. Assignment questions are ok, but show existing work.

Show off your projects or other stuff you are working on. Talk about designs or ideas, ask technical questions, and share technical information. This is the big catch-all thread for anything electronic.

Ask for repair help or describe how to repair equipment

General discussions about microcontroller hardware or software. Use the Embedded Computer section for single board computers like Raspberry Pi etc

Everything programmable logic related. FPGA's, PLD's, VHDL, Verilog etc

RF, Microwave, and Ham Radio designs, projects, and discussions.

Everything metrology & Calibration related. This is where the Voltnuts hang out.

Power related discussions, Renewable Energy, energy storage, Electric Vehicles etc.

A community section to discuss Open Source Hardware (OSHW) projects or anything OSHW related. If the project is not licensed under the OSHW scheme, please put it in the regular Projects & Technical section.

Discuss getting your PCB or product manufactured or assembled. Home brew PCB's, Pick & Place machines, reflow etc.

Test Equipment reviews, teardowns, discussion, questions etc. This is the biggest T&M forum on the net, so your product has likely already been discussed, please use the Search function in the menu above first!

Everything to do with thermal imaging and cameras

Product reviews, teardowns, and discussion about any gear that's NOT test equipment related. Tools, gadgets etc.

The best place on the internet to discuss crowd funded hardware projects! Is a campaign too good to be true? Is it technically possible? Promote your crowd funded project here, just be ready for serious expert feedback.

Robotics and Automation

Discuss all dodgy sounding products, technology, and marketing here. Snake oil, Audiophoolery, Free Energy, outright scams, or just marketing-wank products that don't have a chance of meeting their specs, this is the place to discuss and debunk them.

This is where everyone hangs out and rants and chats about whatever electronics topics that don't fit into the other more specific categories on this forum. Occasional off-topic stuff is ok, but generally we like to keep it electronics related.

An industry jobs board. Post your job ad here. Commercial companies are welcome provided they don't spam and run, you must stick around & contribute. No HR droids or recruitment companies.

Looking for contract or regular work? Post your work wanted ad here listing your skills and what you have to offer. Resumes attachments (PDF) are allowed if you want to make them public. Companies NOT allowed.

List your electronics related stuff for sale, or link to others. Wanted ads go here too. Only dealers who are valued contributors to the forum community are welcome to post here.

All time sensitive things like contests, events, seminars, webinars, meetups, exhibitions, promotions, courses, etc.

PC's, Macs, Tablets, phone thingoes etc
