Hi Lads

Interesting ,i now no that there is differant types of board ,the board is green and has a white edge ,looks like Fiberglass ,nothing wrong with your eyes John

Thanks for the tips on using board John

Bend ,good idea as when  looking at a few projects they all ran on diferant voltages , i think i will by a bench top power supply ,they have some here  http://www.esr.co.uk/electronics/products/frame_powersupplies.htm  and they are not far from were i live



Thanks Rob

I aint no Guru..

Just like sharing what I know, like everyone else... :thumbup:

I know some folk like Oneupmanship....having more knowledge than some one else...

I'm not like that..if some one needs to know something and I can help I will...

I'm glad your sharing. I've learned something and I hope others that look at this thread will also.

Collective knowledge  :borg: Great stuff. Don't know were you got the "oneupmanship" from.  :scratch:

Looks like we both know just enough to be dangerous.  :lol: At least me anyway.  :lol:

Ok, back to learning. :thumbup:

Hi rob
         how's your electronics experiments going ?
some times depending on the make of resistors you are using
it easy to confuse the red and orange or blue and grey bands
when viewed under flourecent lights , if you are not sure :-- cheat and check them
with your multimeter

for many simple circuits you don't need a large selection of types of transistor
just because somebody designing in the UK may prefer to use BC... types and others in the US  2N.... transistors
but that does not stop you using a bc109 instead of a 2N2926 but check the emiter base and collector wires are in
the same order !!!
search for " ELEKTOR   TUP  TUN  DUS  DUS "  and you will see a large selection of interchangeable european
 transistors and diodes , Elektor magazine use in their projects
 
   I hope you are having fun

Hi and Welcome John  :wave:

i hope to have my fist flux capacitor and photon torpedo up and running next week  :lol: :lol: :lol:  ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Its coming along slowly at the moment  i am still playing with resistors and capacitors , Ohms law ,, the basics ,,,,,,,, I hope to do allot more this coming winter ,, i have a few projects in mined
 :lol: :lol: :lol:  i thought it was my eyes when looking at the colours  :bang: ,, so i have been checking them with the meter just to make sure ,,, the problem is they are so small and i have to chase them about trying to get hold of them with my sausage fingers ,, then when i drop the dam things i cant fined it,  as they are the same colour as the carpet  :doh:

Thanks for the link and the tips  :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:,,,,,,,,, i have so much to learn  :D


Regards Rob

Do you have any projects on the go at the moment ?

Well i finaly managed to get to Maplins today ,,This is what i came back with
A small breadboard and some jumpers,,


and a GCSE electronics kit

I think that looks really handy especially the hookup wire pack and the gcse components, how much were they if you dont mind me enquiring. I didn't realize maplin's still sold stuff this interesting.

Bernd mentioned radio shack earlier, they're Tandy over in the uk. Once upon a time they sold components and Vellerman kits and all that, but nowadays I think they are just consumer electronics box shifters.
