A Suggestion what do yall think?

[^^TommyTee]

Hi all

I would like too see a Electronics Section in here

with subsections ie.. components... pcb,s etc etc

any chance of this ?

[mickydibble]

Think it is a good idea very interested

[Devilfish]

An interesting idea.

I would like to see what other people think though.

Thanks for the suggestion.

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

go for it.

[chroma]

Id love to see this.

[tomhick024]

Def would be interesting and would be a busy section I would think!!!!

[Bulld0g]

Well like most things, i know ~~~~ all but i think it would be a good addition and if you want to learn theres no better place than here

same here bd

im very interested in learning electronics programming

schematics pcbs

i beleive this would be a very active part of the site

very grateful for all your comments THANKYOU

lets see if this can be made possible

i for one will be a regular contributor too this

im very keen too learn

regards Tommy

The Best Site Around ....Potential is infinate!


no bullshit ...all sharing all caring my kind of people .....

I think this is a great idea, dont know allot about electronics so would like this secion, maybe some guides on things, looking forward to this.

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

Bump, i think we need a slightly more general opinion.

I think the electronics section would be a waste, just like the linux that never took off.


What are guys going topost in this section where u can get R45 cheap etc, Am sure all electronics stuff will e cover in sections already on forum, well maybe apart the rabbit,.... You know what i mean i have issue whith tv i put in there, i have issue with sat its there.


As for a 14 year old to bump it ( you still 14 ) well if ur anything like my 14 year old its in bits , and all comfy bits are in bin .

theres a resistor chart for those that want to start, if stuck for parts go to local maplins, or radio shack

I'm very interest in repair hardware von PC, TFT and LCD monitors, autodiagnose, and special : faults, results and schematic to make it self

Off the top of my head, things i could post are:

Basic:
Soldering guides (tips on tinning, desoldering etc)
PCB Fab guid, tips on acid etching and UV etching
Theory rundown, What components like transistors, resistors, diodes, capacitors are for and how to spot them on commercial gear. How to use multimeters, ocilloscopes etc.
SMD work.

Advanced:
Schematics for boards (most of my schematics are for HAM/CB/PLL work) however im sure more people will have schematics for commercial boards, like dreamboxes, dboxes, starviews etc.

Projects, like custom built valve amps (pull push amplifiers) simple radios (transmitters and recievers) diagnostic boards...
Antennas (to boost wifi like cantennas, helix, double quads, parabolics) would work for Satellite for instance.
Linear amplifiers (for preamping signals like cable, satellite, radio, wifi etc)
Attenuator boards and noise suppressors.
MIDI interfaces.
Even down to stupid, pointless, useless stuff that just looks like it would be fun to build and try out.

The list is endless and as varied as users could concieve.

Ive not done any real electronics work or projects in years, not since my radio days, but theres still loads that could be contributed thats either too general or specific to be contributed in any other sub forum.

Even if it goes down in flames, so what? atleast it was an attempt, its better to have tried and flunked it than to always wonder what if.

[Devilfish]

So what could we have in terms of section headings?

Analog
Digital

etc?

Or just one section to start with?

[SatSearching]

How about something along the lines of "home domestic electronics" to start with covering a wide range to judge interest?

Good ideas from chroma though, but add to this the idea of repair tips for brown and white goods in the home?
