Hi, I'm a mechanical engineer by trade and do a lot of electrical fault finding on machinery and a little bit of programming and A LOT of data acquisition and analysis (I work in R&D) but I've always been very interested in electronics at more of a circuit level and enjoyed playing with 555 timers and stuff at school. Lately I've delved a step further and become more interested in basic DC power supplies as found in most consumer electronics around the home, laptops, TVs, etc.

I've got a little 0-30v bench power supply and very handy temperature controlled 50w Parkside soldering...
