DIY Schematics

I found this site with a lot of Schematics for all kinds of things. With so many people talking about building their own compressors, pre-amps, etc. I thought this might come in handy:

Nov 15, 2004 11:04 pm nice.
i need a good book on understanding schematics. do you know of one?
Nov 16, 2004 01:14 am Hey forty one place to start would be to start could be here arts.ucsc.edu/EMS/Music/t.../ReadSchem.html Another good place is www.nutsvolts.com Thats a web site to a magazine that aimed at the home builder.
Nov 16, 2004 01:21 am I'm all about the DIY school of things. here are a couple of more links. www.recording.org/users/kev/mic_pre_general.htm www.audio-nova.com/innehall/audionova_DIY.htm www.musicianstechcentral.com/schmatic.html#amp I think I'm going to try one of those pre-amps on the second link this winter. You know, now that racing season is over. I could do for more free time or less things to do with my free time!
Nov 16, 2004 03:59 am soldering is a cool thing to do in the winter, too. its pretty absorbing.
Nov 16, 2004 11:08 am Thanks for adding those links Diemusik.... very cool.
Nov 16, 2004 02:35 pm i just browsed the ucsc.edu page. very interesting. i used to enjoy this stuff back in high school when i took an electronics class. the instruction wasnt that great, or--he was, but might have been better. though the guy was a passionate electronics nerd, it was as if he were trying to put into us just enough info to read a schematic and build a few projects inculding our final--a color organ--and then get us out of there before the semester was over.
so, i still can't read the signal path in a schematic. though the symbols stick with me to this day.
this web page just awakened a desire to learn more. it didnt explain the thinking behind this--one would need a resource where the 'big picture' is covered. how the signal flow is interpreted, how components modify the function of other components, the different things a particular component can do. and the biggie: how to dream up your OWN circuits. to me thats a black art. almost magical. i just dont understand how someone says 'i want a circuit that does X' and then just conjures it up.
imma search out a good schematics book if i can find one. thanks for the awakening, karetaker
Nov 16, 2004 10:47 pm I feel the same as you forty. I enjoyed electronics in high school but I really havent spent too much time messing with it in a long time. The thing that sparked my interest again was finding a new copy of Nuts and Volts magazine, www.nutsvolts.com I didnt even know they were still around until a little while ago. Actually that would be another good place to look for info on that book you were asking about.
Nov 17, 2004 01:30 am thanks man. i wonder if i could buy that somewhere--like if any place actually carries it. i guess ill look around.
Nov 17, 2004 01:58 am I found my copy at a Barnes & Noble. I found another link tonight while I was surfing around. www.electronics-lab.com/articles/ This one seems to get a little more into the basic ideas of how a circuit works. Check that one out, see if its any better than the last one. Take care!
Nov 17, 2004 07:11 pm thanks. another good one. ill browse this one fully and see if BN has a magazine
