Electronics Tutorial
Greg from DIY live writes “I know that starting out in Electronics can be intimidating. There is a lot that you have to understand in order to really get a grasp of electronics. Sure, you can find some schematics, and put them together, but without understanding what resistor to put with a LED, and why you pick that resistor for that LED, then you can’t really do much except for just copy other people’s designs. I decided to find a few links for everyone to go to that will help them understand circuits, and circuit design.” Link.
Here is this week’s “Cool stuff being made!” – “Karsten Manufacturing Corporation began in the 1950’s garage of Karsten Solheim, when he set out to build his own club to improve his golf game. What started with a custom line of putters has grown into a full line of drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, irons and putters. Today, Karsten Manufacturing is utilizing the latest alloys, aerodynamic technology and experiences of professional tour golfers to continually improve upon their design and make some of the best selling equipment in the world of golf.”

Cool manual from 70’s spotted on Retro Thing! “Here’s a link to a classic 16-page design manual for model rockets. It covers how solid rockets work along with basic design, and construction. Includes a couple of pages about multi-stage and large scale designs, too.” [
Cape and Ray write – “Most people only utilize the Video input on the front of their TV’s for video game systems. Even if you use the inputs on the back you are still limited to probably three inputs total. This switch box allows you to plug in four RCA devices at once using only one input on your TV. A turn knob allows you to toggle between the four devices easily without unplugging devices.”
