Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi, I'm Paul, a retired engineer (not electronics). I've got into electronics as a hobby as I fix stuff around the house and workshop. These days even everyday stuff has electronics in it, the result being when it breaks most people throw away and replace. I don't do that. As an engineer I have to know why has it broken, can I find out what has made the device break down and then try to fix it.

This has taken me down a really big rabbit hole of learning about electronics and setting up a basic home electronics...
