University of manchester, want to go into power and control systems.
Whats your area of expertise?

Welcome Igor

Welcome to the funhouse Iggy! Pop or not.

That's great man.
We have that course too. And what is your area?You mean what I like to do?
I'm into PCB design (Altium designer, OrCAD), simulation of circuits (in Spice), some measurements, programming microcontrolers and so on.
RE: Hellow :P - DasBill - 22-10-09
Well im studying a general electrical and electronic engineering course at the moment but i hope to go into something to do with power and control systems.
Programming micros is hard. Im currently programming a PIC18F4520 in C, using MATLAB.
But im sure reading from a 0-5v potentiometer and outputting it to two 7 segment displays, so that when you twist the pot, it counts up in hexadecimal on the displays is easy for you
(dont worry if no-one else understood some of that!
)

I use PIC16F877 and PIC16F876. I program in PIC BasicPro and Microcode studio.
In faculty we use Matlab for digital signal processing.
I was learning C++ in 1st year of college, so I forgot some things.
I understand what do you mean. This picture bellow shows how you do that, but there si no potentiometer and only one 7 segment display.
Don't know how to remove the picture of the circuit on the first side.

I think a bit of my brain just melted. Welcome Iggy.
RE: Hellow :P - DasBill - 22-10-09
I meant for everyone else reading this wont understand too well
Yeah thats more or less the same setup. Ill have to see if i can dig up a design.
Thats odd cos i learnt C++ in college. Now its all C, VHDL and Java/UML programming.
RE: Hellow :P - Iggy - 22-10-09
Tnx everybody for the warm welcome!
Like we are some aliens or something. Hehe
I've tried VHDL when we were programming FPGA Spartan-3A. It was hard for me I didn't like it very much. Neither I don't use Java and stuff like that, but I would like to learn it maybe later.
It's great to talk with someone across the border about things like this.
RE: Hellow :P - DasBill - 22-10-09
It is very interesting to see similarities between the 2 of us.
Ive just started using VDHL, its not great, id rather use a simulation package.
Java is much different than anything else ive used because its OO programming but is certainly worth a try.
