Howdy all.

I have been playing with Electricity and gizmos and doodads since Electric Eels were invented. So what do I know?..Nothing!

I recently got turned on again and got into small simple cicuitry, building tiny pre-amps, flasher circuits (it all started with making a Hydrophone, which needed a pre-amp, which then needed a Submarine etc. etc..) and generally made myself familiar with the 555, 547 and 386 ic's, and a few transistors as well.
So...now I'm hooked again and want to further my knowledge (small scale) in simple circuitry.
I have "some" basics in Avionics (like the name of the Author of one of the books; Edward Current,) and also have extensive experience with the various Thermostats and light switches in the house, so I should be able to pick up the remainder of the sport no problem.

Anyway, I'll be lurking in the background (yup...the guy in the black suit with the sunglasses,) familiarizing myself with the forum rules and browsing the sections, before I stick my foot into it again. Cheers y'all...I'll be back. X

Hi Mr X, welcome to electronics point and thanks for the entertaining introduction.

Welcome to our forum friend !

All the above sound like shipboard electronics to me. Am i wrong ?

Hello,
No...you are absolutely right.
The Submarine dreamdream though...will probably never take place as I am aproaching the distant shore at a pace I can't change, so I fiddle and play with what I can. Sound ominous but I'm healthy as a Horse, just getting older. X.

I also work on shipboard electronics some times. I am definetly far from expert but i try.

(it all started with making a Hydrophone, which needed a pre-amp, which then needed a Submarine etc. etc..)

I understand that a hydrophone needs a preamp but the preamp needed a submarine ?
Or the hydrophone was needed on a sub ?
I know all subs have hudrophones and most surface ships also to communcate with subs.

No, it was a badly constructed sentence and a joke. The Hyrophone was a first time experiment/project with Piezo discs and a pre-amp to make it work. My personal interest in home built Submarines was the initiative for the project.

Ho ok.

We have quite a few jokers that lurk here and chime in once in awhile. Welcome to Electronics Point wannabe submariner!
