Hey any one into electronics. Building things from small components like capacitors resistors or diodes?

Im into audio and programming intigrated circuites

I built a computer from scratch in middle school, but I don't remember all the steps.  And they've changed so much I probably couldn't do it again lol

Indeed, my little brony! A project I am having at the moment is to change a Hasbrostia (the Pink Celestia) toy into something else. Celestia, Celestia, or maybe Nightmare Moon. Insides away, Freeduino Nano and a SD-card in and off we go. I need to get the card and some other things, but that's a little setback. Should I make a blog of sorts about that?


Also computers & electronics 4 life.

I work as an audio engineer and general maintenance of gear and cables is part of the job. If you're an audio engineer and you're afraid of a soldering iron, you suck at your job.

I'm not really into electronics, but I do it 'cause making and maintaining your own cables, and building microphone preamps from DIY kits is a lot cheaper than buying them premade. I can't make things from scratch, but give me a schematic, a soldering iron, and what I need to build it, and I can usually slap it together.

I took an engineering class in high school, but the teacher was a little flakey so we just did whatever we wanted. And i remember that sodder (?) smells bad, and lingers forever.

A little project. Have a look at http://raejuusto.asuscomm.com/kuvia/poni/projekti/hasbrostia/.

Basically I'm going to change the voice box inside the pink talking Hasbrostia ("I love my hair <3") to a Freeduino Nano minicomputer. I'm going to be using the SD-card as the mass memory to store the sounds. Maybe even add servo motors to the wings.... For that I'll need some small servos that I can control with the Freeduino. Also I need to fix some screwholes in the torso and program a WAV-player for the Freeduino so I can play the sounds.

Also forgot ponies. :P

Most likely, but that way I'd need to mod the wing movement system too since it only goes from one direction to another, not around. With servos I could control how far the wings would go. But that will have to wait till another time.
