Baby steps..  1

Posted on October 20th, 2005, early in the evening. About Cardiff.
Made my first proper electronic circuit today (just incase you don’t know and actually care, I’m doing a BEng in Electronic Engineering). Ok, so it was in like “Electronic Applications” which is basically a class for people who have little or no experience with the stuff - like me. But it wasn’t bad, quite fun. Got to use a soldering iron which I haven’t done since like DT in Year 9.

The circuit was pretty simple really, 4 resistors (2 in parallel and 2 in series) and 2 bits of wire which had to be soldered on and then was tested and it managed to work. Apparantly we make an amplifier in a couple of weeks with a 1:10V ratio. Which apparantly means 1V in makes 10V come out or something. Then the final “project” is a battery charger so nothing big but if it helps me pass lol.

Here’s some photos of the masterpieces..

So I was cool and did the “How Chav R U?” test and first question - Have you ever purchased something from Co-op, Iceland or Hyper Value? Think was a bit unfair seeing as I work in a Co-op and now seeing as I’m a student don’t have much choice to where I can shop so frozen food is bought from Iceland and other crap from Tescos next door. Never mind.

Chavs Test
