Electronics

[Maor]

I don't renember ever having a topic about electronics so I tought I should make one.


I'm starting second year electronics this year.
I was allways fascinated by electronics, Two years ago, I found my brothers electronic equipment, And just started making things.

I made some small projects but I was too annoyed to finish them :P

I made a FM radio transmitter

This is a very old picture of the transmitter, From about two years ago.



And I made the ruby micro amplifier:
I mistakely bought the wrong fet driver and it became a sound generator, The gain knob changes the pitch and the volume controls volume
Il setup a video of it one day.

I used to have a kit.
10~1 Electronics pack.

Make a bomb and blow yourself up

[zz_tophat]

I made an EMP device, a coil gun and a CO2 laser.


But ya, radios are cool too.

Electronics are cool and all. I am starting my second year of electrical engineering today.

In last years electronics class all the lab experiments were pretty much by the book, but the last one was fun. We were tasked with designing and building our own small scale alarm system using everything we learned in lecture and lab. It was a small house with two windows and two doors. If a window was opened while the alarm was ready a red LED would flash at a rapid interval and activate a siren. If a door was opened a yellow LED would blink for 30 seconds; if a four bit code wasn't entered within that time the yellow LED would stop and the red LED and siren would go off.

It was great fun and I wish I still had it, but we used my lab partner's electronics kit. I could always remake it since we have a complete circuit diagram for it.

Haha, That sounds cool.

Two days ago I got my logic finals results, Got a 100 =D

Also, We actually never did a significant circuit in class, The last thing we stuided last year was how transistors act to dc voltage.

Funny thing is, there was one time at our class lab, Where I corrected our teacher for a mistake he did on AC bridging to DC
And we actually didn't learn it yet, But I allready studided electronics via interwebs before school so I knew how a bridging circuit works.

Since we only had access to a few ICs in our kits I had to pull some pretty funky logic tricks in the final project.

Yeah, The finals were not practial, It was paper.

I know that last years final project in electronic engineering was to make a parking lot.


I'm exited for this year, Were going to learn flowcharts and C =D

I wish I understood electronics, I can barely keep track of the positive and negative ends of a battery.

You can make a volley of cool stuff with a little know-how in this field, I'm a bit jealous.

You know, this is completely off-topic, but Muffinmix, did you edit Ronin's avatar into that or is his from the same flash/movie/tv show/whatever you got yours from?

Pm, Its your friend.

[Beekay]

I assumed I could not send PMs as there was no PM button on his post. But, apparently, I can.

He made his first, showed me the image it came from, I thought camera-head guy was cool so I cropped it and made my current av.

The most I can do is make a flash light :D

Awesome; I renember the first time I made a led turn on :P
