Guest
I took three years of electronics in high school, but spent the last
25+ in software. I still remember the basics, and I can deal with
simple digital stuff, but there are gaps, and I don't remember much of
the analog stuff. I'd like to get a basic competency so that I can
understand basic circuits, and 'improvise' when necessary.

I spend a lot of time in my workshop nowadays, organizing and working
on mechanical stuff. I usually have a TV going with some educational
program going in the background. There are times when I have to pause
it--if I need to really think about what I'm working on--but a lot of
the time I'm working with my hands and listening to the TV...

I have some books on Electronics, but I don't often find the time to
sit and study, so it's slow progress. What seems to work well for me
is to get an overview of a topic, and then go to the books to fill in
the details.

Can anyone recommend a good set of instructional videos, lecture
series, or something like that?

Thanks in advance.

My advice is to jump in and a start a modest project that you are
really interested in. If you run into a 'gap', then search the
internet. There are so many excellent resources out there it is hard
to imagine you have a basic question that you can't find the answer to
in a few minutes.

Already doing that. I've got an Arduino microcontroller board that
I've been using to control motors and servos with PWM, read rotary
encoders, etc. I just finished building a TI INA217-based preamp for
my (unbalanced) dynamic mic.

On each project, I either remember something I learned in school, or
some EE at work points out something in my circuit that's obvious once
they've mentioned it. I still have difficulty looking at a complex
circuit and breaking it down into meaningful sub-elements.

I'm trying to reach that critical mass point where you know enough,
and know where to go to look for the rest...

That's just Phil. Ignore him. Most of the regs on here have him in
killfiles so his flamage is invisible until and unless someone else
quotes it.

Once you're past the real basic stuff, a good self-study course is to
pick up The Art of Electronics (ISBN 0521370957) and the companion
Student Manual (0521377099). Read AoE and work through the hands-on
stuff in the student manual. You'll need some basic equipment, of
course, for the lab work. Be aware that there's a new edition of AoE
expected sometime in 2009, or at least before Duke Nukem Forever. ;-)

Oddly enough, every once in a while he gives a beginner a very nice

No, underneath all that vile language he's actually quite knowledgable
and helpful, unfortunately that's just how Phil communicates with
people most of the time these days. If you can believe it, he used to
be very civilised in his posts many years ago. Shame how it's all gone
downhill really.

Usenet is an evil jungle full of malicious wild animals, without
civilisation or any rule of law.

Complete anarchy reigns.

Some of the *vilest individuals* on the planet post here every single day.

So I took it on myself to expose some of them.


Fuck you if you don't like it.

He made the mistake of assaulting a toaster that was still plugged
