Hi Oyvind
I propose a new project…
One Lab Regulated Power Supply totally SMPS.
Overview of project:
0 – 35 Volts 3 Amp.
Totally SMPS. No transformers large and heavy.
Adjust of intensity output, 30 mA, 300 mA, 3 A.
Display volts and amperes digital.
Other parameters of your choice
You dare?
Best regards
Josep
Hey Josep,
Sounds like a good project. I have enough projects on my own, but you should definitely build it!
Cheers!
Oyvind
Hi
I am so interesting to be published my E-mail because I would like to know your new projects.
thanks

Hey Bigdeli, I don’t understand your question….
Oyvind
Hey I did not know you,just i wanted to have the e-book because it was free download.

I come from kenya.I wish you consider
Poor students like me and I will not let you down. Like the book is too expensive for me.
Hey Charles,
I definitely advice you to check out all the free articles on my website. On my newsletter you will also receive free daily tips on electronics.
Cheers!

Well done. Can you build the internet project on video so that we can watch how you do it ?
Thank you for helping others through your work..
Thanks Colin!
Step-by-step instructions on the internet project will be a part of my new online course. Enrollment opens Wednesday.
Cheers!
Oyvind
Hi,
I am eagerly waiting for ur online course. Ur books and videos are really helpful. Congratz….
Thanks for the nice comment =) I hope to see you enrolled on Wednesday!

I am just a beginner & very keen to learn from your website. I only want to know a basic thing how to get what value resistor is required in any circuit.?

Hello Oyvind,
Last year I got very interested in Arduino and building things. I made a “scarecrow” owl to scare squirrels from my apricot tree. It has a motion detector, LED lights that blink in patterns and a servo motor that moves a wind chime making noise. I made a mail box notifier that sends me a text message when the mail man opens the mailbox. It has several components that complete or break the circuit so it can detect if the mailman opened the box from the back or I opened the box from the front. I was so excited that I was learning all these new things that I thought I could move away from Arduinos and learn microcontrollers. I got a book on AVR programming and a programmer and some microcontrollers. I got to chapter 2 and got stuck. There was nothing in the book or on the Internet about what to do if you hooked everything up and your Microcontroller didn’t work. I tried changing Microcontrollers, programmers, loading software on different computers. I must have rewired my circuitry on my breadboard 20 times. I got VERY discouraged. So much so that I don’t seem to make time for my electronics like I was. (And I was really enjoying it a lot) So, I have two questions one is when you fail and are stuck what should you do? And two is will you be covering microcontrollers in your lessons?

Hey Marion,
I’ve been stuck many times, and it’s not a good feeling. What I do is that I talk to people about it. Sometimes just saying it out loud helps me find the solution. Other times I use online forums to ask for help.
In my new online course I will be covering the use of Arduino only. But I’ve written a microcontroller tutorial that may be of help :https://www.build-electronic-circuits.com/microcontroller-tutorial-part1/
Cheers!

When were you going to send the access to the people that bought your last book and were supposed to get upgraded to this program ?
Hey Richard,
I sent out instructions this morning. It should be in the email you registered when purchasing the old course.
Cheers,
Oyvind
thanks a lot for inspiring me !
i will soon start building circuits… bought few LEDs and batteries from an electrical shop…
i’m really excited to be a part of the electronic world !
Great to hear Shivani!

Hi Oyvind,
Your videos make a lot of sense. I have put many of your ideas into practise when I first started learning about electronics on my own. The trial and error method seems to work best for me. It allows me to take what is in my mind and see it take on a life of it’s own in the real world.
When I first started what really helped me most was spending some time to understand each basic component. I’ve built a lot of different robots but it got boring so I took a new approach. I said to myself don’t build a robot without determining a mission, a purpose for that robot. This has resparked my interest in robotics because I now have focus. My brain is really weird. Transistors were one of the easiest components for me to grasp but I stumbled on capacitors. Capacitors confuss the heck out of me because in my mind they’re not doing what I thought they should do. Electronics is so interesting. I wish I could start life over because I definitely would be in the tech field. You are an awesome teacher. I’m so glad I found your web site. I look forward to learning from you.
BTW in regards to the microcontroller in my opinion it makes learning so much easier. Arduino is awesome. I’ve used it for IR projects but I also want to move to Bluetooth, and home automation projects. I use a home automation controller but I think it would be awesome to build my own hub and incorporate my own bluetooth devices along with Ethernet support but before I travel down this path I think my smartest path would be to build a small led project with a LCD to respond to certain things on the web i.e. email notifier, weather alerts, etc that would be awesome. Looking forward to learning those things from you.
Hey cheekid!
It seems you are on the right path. Arduino is definitely a good platform to learn microcontrollers. Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts!
Cheers!

Oyvind,
I want to build a circuit that actuates a mellow sound when a micro switch is actuated. Any suggestions?
Before asking my question I would like to say thank you for your newsletters which inspire me every time whenever I am getting distracted from bulding electronics projects.
I want to see and change the parameters of my SMPS charger connected to battery remotely I.e through internet. Please suggest me how can I achieve it.
I wish I could understand the video… the built-in caption doesn’t make any sense…
I am hearing impaired… :-(
Hi
Amazing start with circuit building. But I missed the last point you mentioned, in the internet connected circuit. Synthesizer and what else?,
I’m very amazed how simply and straight forward you put things.In fact I wish to build a sound recognition system.Where do I begin?
He im poor men what i do tel me any time coming through but u r gret nicely :.sorry
great tips to level up ones skills. thanks a lot
