Hello all! I study electronic engineering, i want really to be an active memeber at this forum, but how could i get a benefit of this forum!

If I wanted to ask about PCB or attach an eagle layout file for some correcting or for take advise from some memebers, would that be possible?!

anyway, thanks in advance!

Welcome to PF, EE. If I understand your question correctly, yes, we'd be happy to help with your questions. Please keep in mind two things. First, if it is a homework question, that should be posted in the homework forums on PF. And as for posting Eagle layout files, it's best to choose a file format that everybody can read, like a PDF or a Word document. You can get a free PDF writer from PrimoPDF.com, for example, or you can use the Copy-Paste technique to paste a copy of your layout drawing into Word.

thanks for your reply! what did you mean by PF and EE?

I might send eagle layout files as JPG or PNG extensions, if that's possible!

Another question please , Are the members at this forum engineers or high level education or just have some experiences...


thanks a lot, best regarads!

LOL. PF is short for Physics Forums (this website), and EE is short for electrical engineer (your chosen handle in these forums). And AFAIK (as far as I know), there is a broad mix of experience among the folks that visit this forum. Everything from high school kids who are interested in electronics, to working EEs like myself, to PhD's in EE and Physics who browse the forums. This is a fun place to learn and contribute.
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
