Electronics Help Forum

Hey guys and nerds hope all is well. I just wanted to share with you a website that has inspired me to become a total nerd. This website/forum is called AllAboutCircuits.com otherwise known as the AAC. Well the AAC has been a great source of help and knowledge in my project making. The people within the forum are extremely helpful and are just as obsessed with electronics as I am. If you have no idea how electronics work and would like to start, the AAC is a great place to take that step into the unknown. Most of the people on the AAC site make projects so it is a great "clubhouse" to hang out and share information. Electronic projects that I have seen on the site have inspired me to come up with similar designs. It is always fun to take another person's general design and put your twist on it. Here is a picture of a robot a fellow AAC user has been designing. The robot detects obstacles using an infrared detector and avoids those obstacles on its own. Pretty neat!

















Another great part about the AAC is the book of information they have created to help other users understand how electronic components work. The book is intended to be read sequentially from beginning to end starting with the basics and then moving forward into electro-magnetism and transistors. I personally have gained a lot of insight into how electronics work from reading these pages. I recommend reading the beginning chapter of the book so you can decide for yourself whether or not you might be interested in the subject.
